BEST THEATRE IN TOWN: Theatre Director A.J. MacQuarrie has come out of "retirement" and is bringing what he terms "Probably the best theatre in this town in a long time."
He's hoping that people will come. If you do, you'll be entertained by Pulitzer Prize-winning David Lindsay Abaire's play, "Kimberly Akimbo." The play has strong language and mature themes.
This Little Theatre of Stoughton production is about a 16-year-old girl who ages four and a half times faster than the average person, dealing with her dysfunctional family, and the end of her life at such a young age.
