The entertaining one-act is a terrific showcase for its star, actor Milena (Sellers) Phillips
In the first couple scenes of Jen Silverman’s play “The Roommate,” which opened in its San Diego premiere Saturday at New Village Arts in Carlsbad, the plot seems mighty familiar.
But when Sharon discovers a secret cache of forged driver’s licenses and IDs among Robyn’s things, the 95-minute play really gets moving and it takes the audience on a funny, free-wheeling and unexpected ride.Robyn has moved to Iowa for a fresh start, with the goal of putting her past as a con artist behind her in order to reconnect with her angry and estranged daughter.
Milena Phillips has been a steady presence on local stages for the past decade, but only in recent years — and mostly at New Village Arts — has she received well-deserved top billing. Her performance as Sharon genuinely sparkles with hope, as she gradually transforms from a repressed and conservative housewife into a joyous, outgoing, playful and confident woman.
