[Marjorie Preston, PR/Marketing Director]

Kimberly Akimbo
by David Lindsay-Abaire
directed by Walter Grodzik

Signed (ASL) Performance Friday, September 12 at 8:00 p.m.

Dobama Theatre announces a special signed performance of the wacky comedy
Kimberly Akimbo on Friday, September 12th at 8:00 p.m.  American Sign
Language (ASL) interpreters Erin LaFountain and Merry Beth Pietila will be
signing along with the production so that deaf or hard-of-hearing patrons
can better enjoy the play.

In this wacky off-Broadway comedy, sixteen-year-old Kimberly is forced to
re-evaluate her life while juggling a hypochondriac mother, drunken father
and ex-convict aunt along with her own mortality and the possibility of
first love.  The New York Times called Kimberly Akimbo “the comedy of the
year.”  OHIO PREMIERE PRODUCTION!

Dobama Theatre is also equipped with a hearing-assistance system for its
hard-of-hearing patrons.  Simply notify the theatre of your special need at
