Casting Teens For "Six Degrees Of Separation" Play
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Seeking teens for "Six Degrees Of Separation" play. See the details below. About the project: Nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play, this 1990 John Guare tragicomedy was brought to the screen in the 1993 film starring Will Smith. Based on an actual incident—in which a young Black man gained access to the homes of upper-class New Yorkers by pretending to be the son of Sidney Poitier—Guare’s tour de force is a comprehensive picture of a fragmented society, one in which those simple six degrees that bind people together are overlooked, blatantly ignored, and, very occasionally, celebrated.
