FROM THE DIRECTOR 

The experience of emptiness at the center of our being is perhaps one of the most painful and yet most motivating aspects of being human. Attempts to fill that hole may have us frantically chasing money or power or celebrity. It may encourage us to justify dishonesty and deceit both with ourselves and others and create the illusion that we are getting closer to something that will make us feel better when actually we are moving further and further away from what really fills that space. On the other hand, the experience of emptiness can motivate a soulful movement inward toward who we really are, which is perhaps where true comfort lies. Imagination is the vehicle that can take us there.

I believe this idea is at the center of Six Degrees of Separation, a play rich with ideas, issues, metaphors, and messages for us in these morally confusing and scary times. Before you run screaming from the theatre thinking "Heaven save me from heavy theatre," rest assured this play is fast and funny and will, I hope, provide you with two of the healthiest ways to "fill that empty space" — thought and laughter. 

One other quick thought: this play is heavily based on the behavior of a real young man. We wish him well.
