Roomies: One Year at a Time is an original play written and directed by Taft theater and film teacher Rick Doyle. Roomies opens in the Black Box Thursday, April 26, at 7:30 p.m., with additional performances Friday, April 27, at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, April 28, at 8 p.m.
Roomies explores dorm life at a fictional boarding school through a series of topical vignettes; all incidents portrayed in the production are based on real events. Roomies looks into the lives of gay and lesbian students and deals with the issues that we can all relate to, both individually and as a community. The play captures the humor and drama that play out for the featured characters during the opening month of a new school year.
Roomies promises to be a hit; arrive at the Black Box early for the best seating.
Though not overly used, the language in the show may not be appropriate for younger children.
