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 Kimberlys 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 werent enough
(like the nerdy D&D enthusiast in her class who 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-continuums Artistic Director,
Clyde Simon, and features actors Amy Bistok-Bunce, Scott Gorbach, Tom
Kondilas, Marcia Mandell and Lauren B. Smith.
KIMBERLY AKIMBO opens this Friday, March 19 and runs at 8 p.m. Thursdays,
Fridays and Saturdays through April 17 at the Liminis, 2438 Scranton Rd.,
Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood. Tickets are $15
general admission, $12 for students and seniors (65+).
