Synopsis:
Set in the wilds of 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.
Breakdown:
Kimberly - Cast
Buddy - Cast
Patti (30 -35 years old) - Kimberly’s mother. A foul mouthed, brash woman who also happens to be a hypochondriac and very pregnant. Torn between loving her daughter and protecting herself from the inevitable early death her daughter’s disease promises.
Debra (24 - 30 years old) - 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. She is the only one in the whole family that remembers Kimberly’s birthday.
Jeff (16 years old) - Kimberly’s classmate. He works at Zippy Burger and does anagrams in his spare time. Not the most popular kid in the school. His home life isn’t much better than Kimberly’s.
Rehearsals tentatively scheduled to begin sometime during the week of May 10, 2010
