Kimberly Akimbo at Theatre Aurora

Written by David Lindsay-Abaire

Directed by Harry Lavigne

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.

"So, when you were four, you looked eighteen. And when you’re twenty you’ll look ninety?"
