Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on May 08, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Kirk Lynn! May your day be as delightfully unconventional and brilliantly witty as the plays you've brought to life. From co-founding the Rude Mechanicals theater company—where you proved that being rude can indeed be an art form—to crafting compelling narratives like "The Wrestling Patient," you've consistently wrestled our hearts into submission with laughter and insight.

Here's hoping this year brings even more applause-worthy moments, endless inspiration, and perhaps fewer wrestling matches (unless they're metaphorical). Keep making us laugh, think, and occasionally scratch our heads in delightful confusion. Cheers to another act filled with creativity and joy!
