This comedy follows an empty nesting Midwestern woman who takes on a lodger to help with expenses. But when the East Coast stranger arrives with a past shrouded in mystery, their unlikely friendship turns into a hilarious journey of reinvention, risk, and unexpected consequences. Reminiscent of The Odd Couple and Netflix’s Grace and Frankie, The Roommate is a wickedly funny and deeply moving story about second chances and self-discovery. Directed by four-time Oscar-nominated actress and veteran director Marsha Mason, who was the Associate Director of the Broadway production and has proven to be comedy gold for ATC with her two prior productions, Chapter Two and An Act of God.
The Roommate runs at the Temple of Music, 330 S. Scott Ave., and Art runs March 15 – April 4, 2026.
The Temple Lounge Bar will be open at 6 PM. The conversation will begin at 6:30 PM.
