The New York Times says "...haunting and hilarious..." "It's a bit of youthful happiness unlike any other" – Associated Press "...theatre at its most original." – New York 1 "A wacky, touching and totally charming dark comedy that gives a whole new meaning to 'coming of age story'" The New York Daily News "There have been many dark comedies about dysfunctional families, but this is one of the funniest."  - The Los Angeles Times KIMBERLY AKIMBO runs Wednesday February 16 thru Sunday February 27 with Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday matinees at 3 PM and Friday & Saturdays at 8 PM.
