Signal Ensemble Theatre continues its sixth season with John Guare's 'Six Degrees of Separation,' directed by co-artistic director Ronan Marra. Ouisa Kittredge read somewhere that 'everybody on this planet is separated by only six other people.' When Paul, a young victim of a knife attack, seeks assistance at her family's upper-class New York home, she discovers how true that statement really is.

Artistic Directors Ronan Mara and Joseph Stearns announced the next two productions in Signal Ensemble Theatre's 2008-2009, sixth anniversary season, 'Six Degrees of Separation' and 'The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie,' presenting a diverse slate which focuses on different individuals and their struggles with the pressures of society and the consequences of their choices. Both productions will be directed by Artistic Director Ronan Marra.
