announcing our 2024-2025 season
Kimberly Akimbo
written by David Lindsay-Abaire
Coming June 2025
The play that inspired the Tony Award winning musical, is a hilarious and heartrending play about a teenager with a rare condition causing her body to age faster than it should. When she and her family flee Secaucus under dubious circumstances, Kimberly is forced to reevaluate her life while contending with a hypochondriac mother, a rarely sober father, a scam-artist aunt, her own mortality and, most terrifying of all, the possibility of first love.

Monday March 10th @ 6:30pm - 8:30pm
No preparation required. You will be provided with scenes from the play. All levels of experience are welcomed!
"Working with the East Boston Playhouse has been one of the greatest decisions I have made. [The directors] care about you, and are willing to help you no matter what. This is not just community theater. This is a strong family. There is so much talent, and love wrapped into this small group of actors! So, if you like acting, but want more than just cast mates, come join our family. You won't regret it!"

"I'm so grateful to the Playhouse for giving me the opportunity to be in my first full theater production. The directors, the crew and the cast were all terrifically supportive and wonderfully talented. It was a great way to connect with the East Boston community and give my all to acting! I can say to anyone who has lived with hunch that they want to act but has been too scared to try: the East Boston Playhouse is the absolute best way to give it a go. You'll be so glad you did! I can't wait for the next time I can be in a show."

"The enthusiasm was never less than 100%, which made performing with everyone beyond easy and fun; even when I was grumpy and tired, everyone else still had a smile on their face. The road getting to the show as bumpy, but everyone, cast and crew, made it a great experience."
