THE ROOMMATE by Jen Silverman
What happens when two very different women become roommates—and begin trying on pieces of each other’s lives?
Sharon is a recently divorced Iowa housewife looking for a fresh start. Robyn is mysterious, unconventional, and carrying a past she’d rather not explain. As their unlikely friendship grows, curiosity turns to temptation, boundaries begin to blur, and both women discover that reinvention isn’t just for the young.
Funny, surprising, and deeply human, The Roommate is a dark comedy about friendship, identity, and what can happen when you finally give yourself permission to become someone new.
Directed by Kurt Naebig
Starring Ann Field & Jennifer McHugh
Understudies: Shannon Mayhall & Kelli Walker.
