The Roommate

When: Sundays, 2 p.m. and Thursdays-Saturdays, 8 p.m. Continues through March 1 2020

Sharon's an empty-nester whose home is even emptier since her husband abandoned her. Looking to reinvigorate her social life, Sharon decides that a roommate may be just the thing to shake up her life — but how much shaking can she stand? Her new roommate, Robyn, enjoys drugs and free love — and is a vegan, all of which is foreign to the middle-aged, Midwestern lifestyle Sharon grew up with. Sure, it's a lot of adjustments to make to one's life, but isn't that what Sharon wants? Jen Silverman's comedy The Roommate follows two very different women as they discover how to live their best lives. West End Players Guild presents The Roommate at 8 p.m. Thursday to Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday (February 21 to March 1) at the Union Avenue Christian Church (733 North Union Boulevard; www.westendplayers.org). Tickets are $20 to $25.
