Amanda - ready to embark on her new life in Boston - meets a colorful cast of characters as she searches for her perfect roommate...virtually. "My (Virtually) Perfect Roommate" is a 60-minute one-act comedy written for community theater groups. Amanda is an upbeat professional from California preparing to start a new job in Boston. With the guidance of a well-meaning real estate agent (Shirley), s
he encounters hilarious surprises as she seeks the perfect roommate...virtually. The cast of potential roomies includes a pet enthusiast, a theater afficionado, a shady mobster, and a house full of rowdy gamers. Will she learn how to pronounce the names of Massachusetts towns? Will Shirley ever master the mute button? Making comical use (and misuse!) of video conferencing features, this 12-scene virtual play can be pre-recorded or performed live for audiences of all ages. The play was originally staged by ShirleyArts! in Shirley, MA in 2021. Virtual Theater Lab in Phoenix, AZ produced the second show (and first live performance) in 2022. Nicky later went on to win the Virtual Theater Lab Playwright Excellence Award for full-length comedy writing. In 2023, My (Virtually) Perfect Roommate was published by Next Stage Press.
