Being a teenager is hard. But it can be funny, too. "Kimberly Akimbo" has a lot on her plate right now. And, oh yeah, she looks much older than she is.

"Kimberly Akimbo" is a funny musical about a teenage girl from New Jersey, who looks old enough to be her own grandmother.

She's dealing with a lot of stuff all at once, but is still determined to find happiness.

You can find out more about Sarasota-based actress Ann Morrison, who's taking the show on the road.

Next stop, The Straz Center in Tampa, starting Nov. 18.
