Kimberly Akimbo - Between the Lines
A staged reading of the Tony Award–winning dark comedy Kimberly Akimbo, followed by a facilitated discussion, on November 7 at Redlands Footlighters.
Kimberly Akimbo By David Lindsay-Abaire Directed by: Jason Connors
Meet the Levaco family — an anything-but-average working-class family from New Jersey — whose teenage daughter, Kimberly, was born with a condition that causes her to age four and a half times faster than everyone else. Watch how Kimberly navigates high school, her very pregnant mother, her drunken father, her criminal aunt… and maybe even her first boyfriend? Footlighters' own President of the Board, Pam Lambert, stars as Kimberly in this outrageously funny and deeply moving play, recently adapted into a Tony Award–winning musical. Note: Contains explicit language.
About the series: Between the Lines is a staged reading series featuring thought-provoking plays driven by big questions rather than big spectacle. Each reading focuses on rich language, compelling characters, and moral, philosophical, and social ideas. Join us for a Saturday matinee performance followed by an optional, facilitated engagement experience — including guided discussions, simple creative prompts, and shared reflection.
KIMBERLY AKIMBO is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Dramatists Play Service.
