BWW Reviews: Country Playhouse's SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION is Wooden but Interesting

There is always a certain electric buzz that seems to surround any production of a show with a recognizable title. Some people will research the origin of the show, and with John Guare's Six Degrees Of Separation, they'll find that Frigyes Karinthy, a Hungarian author, playwright, poet, journalist, and translator was the first proponent of the theory that everyone is connected to everyone else by six or fewer degrees of separation. He examined this in his 1929 short story, 'Chains' (Lancszemek). This very theory was popularized by the 1990 play and 1993 film adaption of Six Degrees Of Separation. People might remember that following the success of the play and the film, while watching FOOTLOOSE, students at Albright College created the game 'Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.' Those people will recall how everyone in the 90s was figuring out how every actor and actress was connected to Kevin Bacon through their work in film and commercials. Elements such as these build anticipation for productions of shows with mane recognition. (more...)

4TH ANNUAL UNPLUGGED NEW PLAY FESTIVAL Lineup Announced at Asolo Rep

Asolo Repertory Theatre's annual play festival will showcase four world premiere plays, including a Greenfield Prize-winning piece by noted playwright John Guare (House of Blue Leaves, Six Degrees Of Separation), Eddie in the Andes.
