Enjoy Two Tickets to Six Degrees of Separation on Broadway, with an opportunity to meet the legendary actress Allison Janney backstage afterwards!

About the show:

The critically acclaimed play Six Degrees of Separation returns to Broadway in a revival starring seven-time Emmy Award winner Allison Janney as Ouisa and Tony Award winner John Benjamin Hickey as Flan. Trip Cullman (Significant Other, Punk Rock) directs the production. The play premiered off-Broadway in 1990, transferring to Broadway later that year and going on to win a New York Drama Critics Circle Award, an Obie Award, and an Olivier Award. It was a finalist for the 1991 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and received a Tony Award nomination for Best Play.

SYNOPSIS: Inspired by a true story, the play follows a young con man, Paul, who insinuates himself into the lives of a wealthy New York couple, Ouisa and Flan Kittredge, saying he knows their son at college. Claiming he’s the son of actor Sidney Poitier, Paul tells them he has just been mugged and all his money is gone. Captivated by Paul's intelligence (and the possibility of appearing in his father’s new movie), the Kittredges invite him to stay overnight. After finding him in bed with a hustler, their picture of Paul changes, and Ouisa and Flan turn detective trying to piece together the connections that gave him access to their lives. Meanwhile, Paul's cons unexpectedly lead him into darker territory as his lies begin to catch up with him.
