CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM PRESENTS KIMBERLY AKIMBO, AN ODDLY HEARTRENDING
COMEDY BY DAVID LINDSAY-ABAIRE, OPENING FRIDAY, MARCH 19 AT THE LIMINIS

convergence-continuum, opens its 2010 season at the Liminis theatre with
KIMBERLY AKIMBO, a wacky and warmhearted dark comedy by David
Linsday-Abaire.

Teenagers grow up so fast these days; but in Kimberly’s case, way too
fast.  Kimberly is a 16-year-old suburban teenager, but due to a rare
condition, she ages physically at 4½ times the usual rate.  And as if
that, on top of all the usual teenage high-school stuff, weren’t enough,
like the nerdy guy in her class that hangs around her all the time, she
also has to contend with a pregnant, hypochondriac mother, a rarely sober
father and a homeless, scam-artist aunt.  "A wacky, touching and totally
charming dark comedy that gives a whole new meaning to 'coming of age
story.'" —NY Daily News.   “Kimberly Akimbo is at once a shrewd satire, a
black comedy and a heartbreaking study of how time wounds everyone." —NY
Times.

KIMBERLY AKIMBO is directed by convergence’s Artistic Director, Clyde
Simon, and features actors Amy Bistok-Bunce, Scott Gorbach, Tom Kondilas,
Marcia Mandell and Lauren B. Smith. Designers include Colleen Albrecht
(lights), Joe Kubelka (sound), Sade Wolfkitten (costumes), and Jim Valore
(set) . Stage Manager is Lucy Bredeson-Smith.

KIMBERLY AKIMBO opens Friday, March 19 and runs at 8 p.m. Thursdays,
Fridays and Saturdays through April 17 at the Liminis, 2438 Scranton Rd.,
Cleveland, OH 44113.  Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 for students
