Mad Horse Theatre launches their 25th Anniversary Season with the Maine premiere production of SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION, running October 7-October 24. Featuring a cast of 16 including Mad Horse Ensemble members and an array of guest artists, SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION is a dazzling, full-hearted work of theatre.

Referencing a statistical theory that states any two people in the world can be connected through only six other people, SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION is a comic, fast-paced and affecting examination of the threads of chance that link one person to another. 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. NY Magazine says the play is "...cunningly executed... SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION is a play about everything, with something in it for everyone..."

Tickets are $18 in advance and $20 at the door with a $2 discount for students & seniors. Group discounts are also available. There will be two pay-what-you-can preview performances on October 7 and 8, and two pay what you can performances during the run on October 14 and 21.

The Dark Night Series returns with MIDGE'S SECTION
October 11, 12, 13 and 18, 19, 10

Three very different tables in one very odd section of a restaurant. Waitress Midge will take you through a hilarious evening with her customers... Find out who really runs the world; how a canker sore can ruin the day; and see boy-meets-girl go right, with the help of a mysterious bell. All with a side order of improv.

Director Aurora White is an alumna of the Mad Horse Children's Theater program.

CAST INCLUDES:
Company member Burke Brimmer, and guest artists Nicholas Schroeder, Bill McCue, David Murray, Amanda Huotari, Amanda Painter
and improv artist Tara McDonough as Midge!

Midge's Section weaves together 3 fabulous short comedies all set in a restaurant:

RECRUITING
by James Noel Hoban
A man eating alone is joined by a mysterious corporate recruiter who makes him an offer that will change his life, if he is willing to conceal his identity.

CANKER SORES AND OTHER DISTRACTIONS
by Christopher Durang
A man and a woman, previously married, try to reconcile over dinner, but a canker sore and a talkative waitress ruin everything.

SURE THING
by David Ives
Two people meet in a café and find their way through a conversational minefield as an offstage bell interrupts their false starts, gaffes, and faux pas on the way to falling in love.
