"Kimberly Akimbo" is a play written by David Lindsay-Abaire. It tells the story of a teenage girl named Kimberly, who has a rare condition that causes her to age faster than normal. The play explores her experiences and relationships with her dysfunctional family and the challenges she faces due to her unique condition.

The Story

The narrative delves into Kimberly's unappealing home life in New Jersey, featuring her boozy and inadequately protective father (Steven Boyer) and her pregnant, hypochondriacal, and self-absorbed mother (Alli Mauzey). Kimberly's poignant realization about the affliction of aging is expressed in a rare burst of confrontation, singing, "Getting older is my affliction; getting older is your cure."

Facing a life expectancy of 16 years due to her condition, Kimberly encounters two disruptors who reshape her perspective. The first is her chaotic and hilarious aunt Debra (played by Bonnie Milligan), who introduces Kimberly to an elaborate check-fraud scheme. The second is Seth (portrayed by the winsome Justin Cooley), a gentle and tuba-playing classmate with a penchant for anagrams, hinting at the possibility of shaking up and rearranging Kimberly's life.
