Dramatic Reading: The Roommate
Monday, June 23 at 7 PM
Robert Shackleton Playhouse
No Tickets Required – Free to Attend – Donations Accepted
When Sharon, a recently divorced Midwestern woman, opens her home to Robyn, an enigmatic newcomer from the Bronx, her quiet life is turned upside down. Secrets surface. Boundaries blur. And a wildly unexpected friendship takes root.
Written by Jen Silverman and directed by Roy Steinberg, The Roommate is a darkly comic story about second chances, radical reinvention, and the strange beauty of human connection.
One night only. Join us for an unforgettable evening of live performance.
