A CO-PRODUCTION WITH MCTC AND METROPOLITAN STATE UNIVERSITY-THEATER UNDERGROUND
SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION
BY JOHN GUARE
Directed by Gail Smogard
Inspired by a true story, SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION follows the trail of a young con man, Paul, who insinuates himself into the lives of a wealthy New York couple - Ouisa and Flan - by claiming he knows their children at college. He also tells them he is the son of actor, Sidney Poitier. This con expands to Ouisa and Flan’s other friends and finally, unexpectedly leads into darker territory as Paul’s lies begin to catch up with him.
