'Kimberly Akimbo' at Circle Players

Circle Players will present “Kimberly Akimbo” a play by Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire.

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.

Jon Heron of Monroe is the director and Alicia Harabin of Somerville is the producer.

Appearing in the cast are Joanne Sternberg, Somerset; Duane Noch, Port Monmouth; Robin Mandalakis, Somerset; Mary-Kate Bozinta, Franklin Park; and Chris DeBono, Madison.

Performances are at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, Sept. 19-Oct. 4, with a 3 p.m. Sunday matinee on Oct. 5.

The audience is invited to a wine and cheese reception in the lobby following the opening night performance.

The theater is located at 416 Victoria Ave., Piscataway. Because of the unique layout of the theater, latecomers cannot be seated once the performance has started. Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before curtain.
