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).

Chicago Marriott Schaumburg

From October 16-17, 2026 - The Chicago Marriott Schaumburg Hotel will host an extensive display of miniature sculptures, a vendor area, auction, and educational “how to” sessions presented by The Military Miniature Society of Illinois at their 50th annual show. 
This visually stunning event attracts hundreds of people of all ages from all over the USA and internationally who are interested in viewing and creating miniature artwork like the many pieces that will be on display. Consider sharing this event with the public through your medium. Feel free to contact our press office if you have any questions or would like to see the event first hand. We would be very happy to make those arrangements during our set up night or the day of the show or meet with some of our artists beforehand. Now more about the show… 
The non-profit MMSI’s annual event at the Chicago Marriott Schaumburg Hotel (50 Martingale Road in Schaumburg, Illinois 60173), will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday October 17 (and also 3-8 p.m. on Friday October 16). Adult admission is $10 per person, and is free for children under 12 or active military providing proper identification.
Considered as one of the top-level exhibitions of painted miniature sculptures in the world, visitors will see many examples of this broad and diverse art form of realistic sculpted and painted miniatures which range in size from under one inch to over twelve inches high. The artists’ work represents a wide range of historical periods from ancient to modern times and includes military, sports, science fiction, movies, fantasy and other subjects. Those submitting their work for competition will be ranging from youngsters and adult amateur hobbyists through world renowned professional artists whose work may be painted from commercially available kits, conversions, or original sculptures.
