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).

If you know the sound of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown — the wandering piano of the Graveyard Theme, the swagger of The Red Baron, the wistful Great Pumpkin Waltz — you know Vince Guaraldi's music, even if you've never heard his name. This October, pianist Connor Cowart leads a jazz combo — with LCSO principal Lauren Moldenhauer on flute, LCSO principal Karl EH Seigfried on bass, Octavio Escamilla on guitar, and Calvin Simmers on drums — through brand-new arrangements of that score, written by Cowart himself and performed live for the first time on October 17. Serna's Grill will be on-site serving throughout the evening, along with curated signature cocktails, beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase. Seating is limited; advance purchase is strongly recommended.
