Set in the wilds of New Jersey, "Kimberly Akimbo" is a hilarious and heartrending play about a teenager with a rare condition which causes her body to age four times 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.
Characters needed are:
| Kimberly | A teenage girl, played by a woman in her 60s or 70s. |
| Buddy 30s -40s | Kimberly's father, a beer slugging blue collar worker. |
| Patti 30s -40s |
Kimberly’s mother, a foul mouthed, brash woman who is a hypochondriac and very pregnant. She is torn between loving her daughter and protecting herself from the inevitable early death her daughter’s disease promises. |
| Debra 25 - 30 |
Patti’s younger sister. A homeless ex-con who shows up uninvited. Always on the prowl for the next get rich scheme, she’ll enlist anyone necessary to make it happen. |
| Jeff 16 |
Kimberly’s nerdy classmate. He works at Zippy Burger, plays Dungeons and Dragons and does anagrams in his spare time. Not the most popular kid in the school. |
Rehearsals will start the first week of August, three times a week, days and times to be determined.
Show dates are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays from Sept. 19-Oct. 4, with one Sunday matinee at 3 p.m. Oct. 5.
The show will be directed by Jon Heron and produced by Alicia Harabin.
