After successful performances in Brantford, Ontario, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR MAGGIE is off to the United Kingdom to make its UK premiere at Thestival 2026, produced by the Butter Side Up Theatre Company at the Lantern Theatre in Sheffield, UK.

In this dark comedy, Maggie avoids being with her husband as he undergoes risky surgery that could leave him paralyzed for life or . . . worse. It’s her birthday. She spends the night in a hotel with her new friend Aldrin, a theologically trained clown who helps her deal with her feelings about birthdays and accept that sometimes life-saving miracles are weird.

If you happen to be in the area or have family and friends able to attend, be sure to catch this hilarious comedy by Rick Butts!
