Sharon needs a roommate. Robyn needs to disappear.
When the two women become unlikely housemates, their lives quickly take unexpected turns. Sharon’s quiet routine is disrupted by Robyn’s mysterious past and bold outlook on life, and what begins as a simple living arrangement soon spirals into something far more thrilling—and dangerous.
The Roommate by Jen Silverman is a deliciously dark, off-beat comedy about second acts, unexpected friendships, and the intoxicating allure of reinvention.
Directed by Maxwell Schaeffer, this production stars award-winning Iowa actors Kellie Kramer (Sharon) and Kristin Larson (Robyn).
