    588 Sutter Street #318 San Francisco, CA 94102 415.677.9596 fax 415.677.9597 www.sfplayhouse.org PRESS RELEASE VENUE: 533 Sutter Street, @ Powell For immediate release Contact: Susi Damilano August 1, 2007 [email protected] SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION By John Guare Directed by Bill English Opens (Press Night) September 22 through November 17, 2007 The POWER of CONNECTIONS San Francisco, CA (August, 2007) – SF Playhouse (Bill English, Artistic Director; Susi Damilano, Producing Director) are pleased to announce casting for the opening show of its fifth season, Six Degrees of Separation by John Guare. The cast includes Susi Damilano, Chad Deverman, Daveed Diggs*, Daniel Krueger, Christopher Maikish, Julia McNeal*, John Mercer, Robert Parsons*, Jennifer Siebel and Ken Sonkin*. (*appear courtesy of Actors Equity). Bill English will direct the show. Designers include: Betsy Ayala (properties), Bill English (set), Bree Hylkema (costumes), Chris Houston (sound), Selena Young (lights). Six Degrees of Separation launched the term “six degrees of separation” into everyday lexicon when it first opened off-Broadway in 1990 and was adapted to the screen in 1993. Its original ten-week run was extended almost immediately. Audiences lined up in hopes of ticket cancellations to see this play that explores late twentieth-century society as deftly as it does universal human relationships. Called a tragicomedy by some critics, Six Degrees of Separation is a witty, biting, yet ultimately sincere commentary on what drives people: the desire for money, fame, social standing, comfort, and, for the lucky, a desire for meaningful human connection. Guare based the premise of his play on an actual incident—a young African-American man gained access to the homes of upper-class New Yorkers by pretending to be the son of actor Sidney Poitier—but the creation of the play is an imaginative tour de force.
