I liked the way it truly brought in all of the elements from the movie. The actors were good.Written on Apr 18 2008

Poor casting, awkward direction, distracting chatter and noise from off stage. Poor theatre etiquette - lack of professionalism.Written on Apr 09 2008
The best actor was probably the main mother, but she was at least 15 years too young for the part as she was no older than 26 and had three college age children!

The venue was a little...um, well....intimate. Six rows of seats, and about 20 people there, and the stage scenery didn't change... But, I guess this is normal for a small Hollywood venue. One thing I CAN say, though, is that the actors/actresses were good. I could have seen them playing in a movie somewhere down the road. ESPECIALLY the main charactor who played the son of the celebrity, as well as the gal who played the wife. I had never read the origianl book, or seen this play elsewhere, so I would have nothing to compare to. I don't really recommend it a s a "first-date", as there is noise from the dance studio above, and the phone/doorbell is on a loud and annoying speaker system recording. Other than that, it was good.Written on Mar 30 2008

More Information About Six Degrees of Separation
Description
Six degrees of separation is the theory that anyone on the planet can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances that has no more than five intermediaries. The play is loosely based on real events that took place in New York City about a young African-American man who pretended to be the son of Sidney Poitier and maneuvered himself into the households of wealthy New Yorkers.
Sometimes referred to as a tragicomedy, Six Degrees of Separation is a witty, biting and sincere commentary on what drives people: the desire for money, fame, social standing, comfort, and most importantly, the longing for meaningful human connection. The play also brings up other sources of conflict: class issues, generational disagreements, sexual orientation, and race. The characters' dysfunction demonstrates that these are simply more places for modern humanity to become isolated from others. Six Degrees of Separation uses the props of the late 20th century to create a comprehensive picture of a fragmented society, one in which those six degrees that bind people together are overlooked, blatantly ignored, and on a very rare occasion, celebrated.
