Auditions for David Lindsay-Abaire's Kimberly Akimbo will take place on Monday, December 6th and Tuesday December 7th at 6:00pm at Massanutten Regional Library's Main Branch in Downtown Harrisonburg.
"Set in the wilds of suburban New Jersey, Kimberly Akimbo is a hilarious and heartrending play about a teenager with a rare condition causing her body to age faster than it should. When she and her family flee Secaucus under dubious circumstances, Kimberly is forces to reevaluate her life while contending with a hypochondriac mother, a rarely sober father, a scam-artist aunt, her own mortality and, most terrifying of all, the possibility of first love." (Dramatists Play Service)
Production dates are March 9th through 13th and March 16th through 20th at Court Square Theatre in Downtown Harrisonburg.
Parts for three women and two men:
Kimberly: a 16 year-old-girl, played by a woman in her 60s or 70s
Buddy: a man in his mid-30s, Kimberly's dad
Pattie: a very pregnant woman in her mid-30s, Buddy's wife/Kimberly's mom
Jeff: an awkward, unpopular 16 year-old-boy
Debra: a woman in her early 30's, an ex-con, Pattie's sister
No prepared piece is necessary; the audition will consist of cold-readings from the script.
