This play-within-a-play is interrupted as actors come and go, usually at the wrong time and through the wrong doors, while off-stage assignations lead to on-stage chaos. From first rehearsal to final performance the delirium never ends. Bring extra oxygen! Tickets: $31 (please use code 2816). No one aged 12 and over will be able to resist this hilarity. Even the sexual references are so funny that they don’t offend in the slightest. For more detailed information, please call ticket services at (714) 708-5555.

CSUSB University Theatre welcomes you to ASL INTERPRETED PERFORMANCE OF "SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION" by John Guare from 2 pm to 4 pm at CSUSB, Performing Arts Bldg., 5500 University Parkway, San Bernardino, CA 92407.

Their willingness to be charmed by a young black man’s erudite pretension leads them to the discovery that no one truly knows anyone.
