"Roommates" Russell Community Theater

“Roommates” written by Joe Simonelli. Show times will be April 22-23 and April 29-30. These are two consecutive weekends instead of a five night run as done in the past. Frank Avino is a divorced 40-something accountant with dreams of becoming a best-selling author. A pretty smooth operator when it comes to the dating game, Frank's only problem seems to be how to keep his overbearing mother back in Brooklyn and out of his small suburban New Jersey apartment. The serenity is broken when a police officer brings Frank's best friend Tom over to the tiny apartment. Tom, it seems, has been thrown out of the house of his live-in girlfriend due to a domestic squabble. The "put up-on" Frank agrees to let Tom stay a few nights until he can find his own place. However, as the days turn into weeks Frank is a little concerned that Tom is getting too comfortable. Add in a tough downstairs landlord, Franks' latest flame and a surprise visit by Frank's mother and things start to get hilarious.
