Mad Horse Theatre Launches Season With SIX DEGREES OF SEPERATION 10/7

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.

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
