Interview: AFTER REHEARSAL: A CONVERSATION WITH MARSHA MASON
by Robert Encila-Celdran - Mar 30, 2026

Marsha Mason has long been defined by her film work in the 1970s and ’80s, and by her storied marriage to the late Neil Simon. Their collaboration nurtured a distinct sensibility, shaping a kind of American comedy rooted in idiosyncratic behavior: how people talk, misread each other, and circle back.

Review: The Roommate at Trinity Rep
by Andria Tieman - Feb 4, 2026

Jen Silverman’s The Roommate is a tight two-hander about two empty-nesters who move in together due to economic necessity (and other, spoilery reasons), and end up in a situation neither could have predicted.  The Odd Couple + The Golden Girls seems like the obvious sources of inspiration here, but this play takes a hard pivot that is both surprising and hilarious.  Under the expert direction of Curt Columbus–his last show as Artistic Director, the pace is quick and the laughs are abundant.
