REVIEWS:
"The Roommate tugs at the heartstrings as much as it tickles the funny bone."
Louiseville.com
"Equal parts nuanced and comically exaggerated, The Roommate addresses themes of aging, femininity and identity in a fresh, humorous way."
WFPL
"[...] a warm and wonderful story that explores how a person's ideas about herself can be limiting but, under certain circumstances, can change in a short period of time and alter the trajectory of one's life."
The Courier-Journal
"It's probably going to enjoy a really long life in Equity houses and community theaters around the country. It's just that good, and just that fun."
Arts-Louisville.com
"Jen Silverman's The Roommate, a new one-act about isolation, second chances and the consequences of our choices, is as tragic as they come -- and it's a tragedy that subtly grows beneath peals of uproarious laughter."
