Kimberly Akimbo Submissions

The first production of our 2025 season is Kimberly Akimbo (the play, not the musical) by David Lindsay-Abaire. Set in suburban New Jersey in 1999, the play tells the story of a teenage girl named Kimberly who suffers from a rare condition causing her to age rapidly, making her appear much older than her actual age; as a result, she navigates the challenges of adolescence while trapped in the body of an elderly woman, dealing with a dysfunctional family, and ultimately finding a connection with a fellow outsider at school, all while confronting the reality of her shortened life expectancy.

  • First rehearsal—June 17
