Take the Bus to Broadway to see a matinee production of “Kimberly Akimbo,” Sunday, May 4 at Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC) in Durham, N.C.
The winner of five Tony Awards including one for best musical, “Kimberly Akimbo” is a hilarious and heartwarming story about growing up and growing old, in no particular order. Kimberly is about to turn 16 and recently moved with her family to a new town in suburban New Jersey. She 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.
The musical features Tony Award-winning book and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire (“Shrek”), a Tony Award-winning score by Jeanine Tesori (“Fun Home”), choreography by Danny Mefford (“Dear Evan Hansen”) and direction by Tony-nominated director Jessica Stone.
The van will depart at 10:30 a.m. from Piedmont Arts and arrive in time for a 1 p.m. performance at DPAC. The van will return to Piedmont Arts immediately following the performance.
Tickets are $180 per person. A boxed lunch option is available for an additional $10 and must be ordered in advance. Tickets are available at Piedmont Arts and online at PiedmontArts.org.
