April 16, 2013 - PRLog -- There is a new stage-play set to debut in the rocket city. Playwright/screenwriter Annie Johnson is set to release the thriller “The Roommate” on May 4, 2013, 5:00 p.m. at Greater Saint Matthew Church, located at 14919 South Main St. Houston, TX.  

Johnson has written over 22 stage-plays throughout the years. This one is set to make her presence even more known in the industry and within the Houston arts community. Cast members in past plays have included well-known entertainers as GRAMMY nominated, Stellar Award winning artist Vickie Winans. She has high hopes for the play and wishes it well, “I am so proud of Annie Johnson's plays and their success.” Pastor Thurman West of Southeast Community church says that Johnson's plays “Bring out every emotion in you. You will leave remembering what’s really important in life.”

The Roommate is not exempted from that review. Johnson says that this production is “filled with twist, suspense and heartwarming inspiration!” The Roommate is about an attractive, successful former classmate from the past returning to her hometown with a physical transformation.
