Eclipse Theatre Company's SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION By John Guare Previews 7/23

Eclipse Theatre Company's 2009 Season: The Celebration Series Part II continues with Six Degrees of Separation by John Guare. Directed by Ensemble Member Steve Scott.

Inspired by a true story, the play follows the trail of a young black con man who insinuates himself into the lives of a wealthy New York couple, claiming that he is the son of actor Sidney Poitier. Captivated by his intelligence and his fascinating conversation, the couple invites him to stay, but slowly discover that not everything is what it seems on the surface. In this award winning off-beat play, Guare examines the threads of chance that link one person to another and the consequences of lives that collide unexpectedly.
