After a fabulous sold-out run of The Ferryman, The Dea Hurston New Village Arts Center is back with their second show of the season, The Roommate. The Roommate, written by Jen Silverman and directed by Samantha Ginn, has been described as The Odd Couple meets Breaking Bad.
In this wickedly funny comedy, Sharon, a recent divorcee and empty nester, posts a listing for a roommate to fill the empty space of her Iowa home. Enter Robyn, a fascinating woman who needs a place to hide and the chance to start over. When Sharon begins to uncover Robyn’s secrets, she taps into a deep-seated desire to abandon her comfort zone and live a life of danger and adventure. The Roommate cleverly navigates the rocky roads of change and hilariously examines what happens when the wheels come off.
