Teenaged Kimberly is coping with a hypochondriac mother, a rarely sober father, an ex-con aunt planning the ultimate scam, and the possibility of first love with her nerdy high school classmate, all while negotiating her own mortality as a rare condition causes her to age five times faster than normal. Heart-warming, heart-wrenching and laugh-out-loud funny!

Ottawa Little Theatre’s presentation of Kimberly Akimbo, written by David Lindsay-Abaire, is a fun, quirky, and deeply human play about growing up amid unusual challenges. Set deep in the suburbs of New Jersey, we meet Kimberly (Sharon Bernbaum), a teenager navigating high school, family chaos, and a first crush while carrying more responsibility than anyone her age should, thanks to a rare disease and a dysfunctional family.
Ottawa Little Theatre’s presentation of Kimberly Akimbo kicks off tonight. Written by David Lindsay-Abaire, Kimberly Akimbo tells the story of a teenager battling a rare disease that makes her age five times faster than the average person, while trying to navigate life with a hypochondriac mother, an alcoholic father and all the trials and tribulations of high school.
