Roommates

The Edge Theatre
5451 N. Broadway Chicago

Roommates is a contemporary theatre production that combines live flamenco music, dance, and physical storytelling to present a powerful and emotionally engaging story about ambition, friendship, and survival in today's entertainment industry. The piece follows three young female artists sharing an apartment while trying to build careers in highly competitive creative fields, where image, access, and power often matter more than talent. As they navigate auditions, opportunities, and personal sacrifices, their friendship becomes both a source of strength and a reflection of the emotional pressures artists face behind the pursuit of success. Roommates explores themes of artistic identity, external validation, and the real emotional cost of chasing visibility and recognition. The production offers audiences a visually striking and emotionally immersive experience while highlighting the importance of community and support in environments that rarely protect the people inside them.
