BWW Review: THE ROOMMATE at Long Wharf
by Sherry Shameer Cohen - Oct 22, 2018
Here's an odd couple for you. Warm, inviting, trusting Midwesterner Sharon (Linda Powell) and shadowy, cautious, tough-as-nails Robyn (Tasha Lawrence), whose last known residence was The Bronx.

by Joanna Barouch - Feb 19, 2018
