Introduction to Kimberly Akimbo - A New Musical About Growing Up & Growing Old

Wed Feb 11 | 10 am - 12 pm | ROOM Change In-person Tallent Hall, to Room 201 or online through Yuja.
Register by Nov 6.

Professor Laura Rexroth introduces us to the Tony Award-winning musical, “Kimberly Akimbo”. Kimberly is about to turn 16 and recently moved with her family to a new town in suburban New Jersey. It is a “howlingly funny heartbreaker of a show in which Kim is forced to navigate family dysfunction, a rare genetic condition, her first crush … and possible felony charges”. Ever the optimist, she is determined to find happiness against all odds and embark on a great adventure. This will be an excellent introduction to our day trip to the play on Sunday, February 22!
