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).

Heritage Park

WHEELING, IL — The Wheeling Park District invites the community to celebrate life, honor loved ones and embrace Mexican cultural traditions at its annual Day of the Dead Family 5K Run/Walk on Sunday, October 25, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. at Heritage Park, located at 100 Community Blvd. in Wheeling.
This year’s theme, “Every Mile Carries a Story,” reflects the heart of Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, a Mexican tradition that honors the lives and memories of loved ones who have passed.&nbsp;

“Día de los Muertos is a beautiful reminder that the people we love continue to live on through our stories, our traditions and the memories we carry with us,” said Daniela Chávez Lira, Director of Public Relations at the Wheeling Park District. “Whether you’re running in memory of a loved one, walking with family or simply joining the experience, every participant has a story worth celebrating.”

Participants can look forward to a morning filled with activities and entertainment before and after the race, including face painting and performances by Aztec dancers, Wheeling High School’s Mariachi Los Gatos Salvajes and Ballet Folklórico Alegría Mexicana.&nbsp;

Jerry Riles of The Sports Rewind :60 will serve as the event’s emcee. The celebration will also feature traditional Mexican treats and local vendors. Los Comales of Niles is generously donating tamales and champurrado. Conchas will also be available courtesy of the Park District. Attendees can visit the vendor area to purchase refreshments from Citra House and baked goods from Dulze Vida Bakery.&nbsp;

The Wheeling Park District extends its gratitude to its sponsors whose support makes this celebration possible: American Family Insurance, Devoted Health Plans, Keller Williams’ The Bremer Team, Los Comales of Niles, State Farm® Veronica Roman, Unbroken Rehab Athletics, and Wheeling Bank &amp; Trust.

More than a race, the event is a celebration of life, encouraging participants to embrace the holiday, remember the stories that connect generations and celebrate the lasting impact of those they hold dear. People are encouraged to register in advance to ensure a medal and runner’s bag.
