Kimberly Akimbo
By David Lindsay-Abaire
Theatre Palisades is thrilled to present a strictly limited engagement of David Lindsay-Abaire's dark comic play, Kimberly Akimbo.
Before it became a 5-time Tony Award-winning Broadway musical sensation, Kimberly Akimbo took the theater world by storm as a celebrated, award-winning play. Set in New Jersey, the story follows Kimberly, a sixteen-year-old girl with a rare genetic condition that causes her body to age four and a half times faster than normal. Trapped in the physical form of an elderly woman, Kim is forced to navigate the ultimate obstacle course of adolescence: severe family dysfunction, her very first teenage crush... and potential felony charges. Yet, against all odds, Kim remains the ultimate optimist. Determined to find happiness and embark on a great adventure, she faces life's chaos head-on. Kimberly Akimbo is a brilliantly heartwarming and hilarious play that explores what it truly means to grow up, grow old, and cherish every single moment we are given.
