Audience Advisory:
Herbal cigarettes and an herbal mix are smoked in this production. This show is not recommended for anyone under 15, and teenagers should have a responsible adult to talk to about the themes and actions. .

The Odd Couple meets Breaking Bad in this wickedly funny comedy. With a recent divorce and her son living across the country, Sharon 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.
