THE ROOMMATE

by Jen Silverman

Directed by Whitaker Gannon

featuring Aleisha Force and Kerrie Seymour

Sharon has never had a roommate before. But after her divorce, she needs a housemate to pay the bills. That’s when Robyn arrives. The Roommate is about an unexpected, life-changing friendship that’s both funny and deeply moving, between two very different middle-aged women as they navigate the complexities of identity, morality, and the dream of reinvention.

October 31 - November 9, 2025

There will be talkbacks with members of the production team and cast following the November 1st, 2nd, 7th and 9th performances.

Location: HHPS Main Street Theater, 3000 Main Street, HHI 

We’re proud to partner with the Island Writers Network for our production of The Roommate. With one character a poet herself, this comedy delves into the humor, heart, and complexities of human connection that poetry often captures.

Throughout the run, our lobby will feature poetry displays showcasing original works from Lowcountry writers, offering audiences another way to engage with the play’s themes of self-expression, belonging, and the unexpected people who alter our lives.
