Vintage Theatre presents the Denver premiere of "The Roommate," January 13 through February 19 at 1468 Dayton St. in Aurora.
Sharon, in her mid-fifties, is recently divorced and needs a roommate to share her Iowa home. Robyn, also in her mid-fifties, needs a place to hide and a chance to start over. But as Sharon begins to uncover Robyn's secrets, they encourage her own deep-seated desire to transform her life completely. A dark comedy about what it takes to re-route your life-and what happens when the wheels come off.
Mari Geasair has been cast in the role of Sharon and Christine Carter Kahane as Robyn.
