Kimberly Akimbo
written by David Lindsay-Abaire
Show dates: Friday June 13, Saturday June 14
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.
Directed by Stephanie Cotton-Snell
