The Roommate

Who says being single, middle-aged, and an empty nester has to be a bummer? Now in her mid-50s—and recently "liberated" from her child and husband—Sharon needs a roommate to share her Iowa home. Robyn, also in her mid-50s, seeks a refuge and a chance to reboot. When the two become roomies and their odd-couple of a friendship deepens, truths emerge, along with hidden talents and secret desires. Part mystery, part comedy and altogether original, this two-hander contemporary classic takes on what it means to be middle-aged, middle-class, in the middle of America, and how to change it all by throwing caution to the wind.
