Parker Players Theater Company Presents The Roommate by Jen Silverman
What happens when the person who moves into your spare bedroom opens the door to an entirely different life?
Parker Players Theater Company presents Jen Silverman’s The Roommate, a sharp, funny and unexpectedly moving comedy about friendship, identity and the possibility of starting over—at any age.
Sharon is recently divorced, living alone in Iowa and wondering what comes next. Enter Robyn, her new roommate: mysterious, unconventional and carrying a past that is decidedly more colorful than Sharon’s. As the two women become fascinated by each other’s lives, their unlikely friendship begins to challenge everything they thought they knew about themselves.
Sharon has spent a lifetime doing what was expected of her. Robyn has spent hers breaking rules and reinventing herself. But as each woman begins trying on pieces of the other’s world, The Roommate
asks a provocative question: Are we defined by who we say we are—or by what we choose to do next?
Directed by Kurt Naebig and starring Barrington residents Ann Field and Jennifer McHugh, The Roommate is an intimate, entertaining two-woman play filled with humor, surprises and genuine heart.
For anyone who has ever looked at their life and wondered, “What if I’m not finished becoming who I want to be?”
The Roommate opens October 16 and runs through November 8. All performances at The Parker Players Theater: 540 W Northwest Hwy Barrington 60010. Tickets on sale now via link to website (click 'more).

KED at Home

<h2>Moody Fall Florals, with Fleur + Form</h2>
Take home a one-of-a-kind arrangement, composed by your own hands under the guidance of a floral artist whose client list includes Ferrari, Burberry, and Bvlgari.
Surrounded by KED's curated home décor, you'll craft and take home a high-end arrangement built for the season — think deep, moody stems, unexpected textures, and blooms that feel like October rather than an everyday bouquet.
Guided live by Promiti Prosun, founder of Fleur + Form, you'll learn the techniques behind elevated floral design: how texture, movement, and color come together into something that looks composed, not just assembled. Enjoy an intimate evening that opens with shopping, small bites, and conversation before the hands-on work begins — beauty and craft, in equal measure.
&nbsp;Together, we’ll cover: 
<ul><li>Selecting and preparing premium blooms</li><li>Color balance, form, and composition techniques</li><li>Designing with movement and negative space</li><li>Insider tips for long-lasting arrangements</li></ul>
📍 Location: KED at Home – Barrington, IL 📅 Date: Thursday, October 22 — arrive 5:30 p.m., hands-on workshop 6:00–8:00 p.m. 💰 Ticket: $175&nbsp; 🍂What's included: 
<ul><li>Guidance to create one elevated arrangement</li><li>All materials provided, including premium fresh blooms and tools</li><li>High-end vase</li><li>1.5-2 hours of guidance</li><li>A selection of small bites with alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages</li></ul>

Summer Just Got Better. Summer Camp back at MVP! For you, it's about keeping your child active, healthy and happy. For them, it means no school, lots of activities, and fun! Mvp Summer Camp is an athletic-based camp dedicated to a full menu of team sports designed for children from Kindergarten to 6th grade. Mvp Summer Camp is about so much more than winning and losing - it is about teamwork, playing hard and playing fair. It's about making new friends and enjoying the camaraderie formed through athletics. A camp that is as encouraging as it is challenging, as safe as it is high-energy and as instructional as it is fun. We're qualified sports nuts!!! Just like our campers, we eat, sleep and breath sports. Our staff is filled with professional coaches, high school and college athletes, as well as experienced P.E. teachers who promote the fundamentals through personalized instruction and positive reinforcement - all while maintaining a sense of humor! No matter the skill level of a child, the goal remains the same: to have a great time, while learning the value of teamwork and good sportsmanship. All of which results in a positive, self-esteem building experience.
