Event
Kimberly Akimbo, presented by Open Book Theatre Company
Set in the wilds of suburban New Jersey, Kimberly Akimbo 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.
STRONG LANGUAGE WARNING: Kimberly's family has a "swear jar" and it gets filled with nickels, mostly from her parents.
"Mr. Lindsay-Abaire is an expert at tweaking, skewing and finally inverting established formulas. Kimberly Akimbo is at once a shrewd satire, a black comedy and a heartbreaking study of how time wounds everyone." NY Times.
Featuring Miles Bond, Joshua Brown, Connie Cowper, Vanessa Sawson and Krista Schafer Ewbank. Direction and set design by Topher Alan Payne. Lighting design by Harley Miah.
