“She’d married a guy named Will Smith and now she was living with a guy named Paul Poitier,” referring to his character in the movie. “Sheree and I were in the first few months of our marriage with a brand-new baby and for Sheree, I can imagine that this experience was unsettling to say the least,” Smith writes in an excerpt obtained exclusively by People. While shooting the movie, Smith realized that he was falling in love with his costar Channing, even though they kept their relationship strictly professional. The actor explains in the book that he had just welcomed his first child, Trey, with his then-wife Sheree Zampino when he was cast in the 1993 film Six Degrees of Separation.

MTSU junior Caleb Mitchell of Nashville portrays Paul, the charming con man. Guare also was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and the 1993 film version, featuring actors Will Smith and Stockard Channing, earned Oscar and Golden Globe nominations. “Six Degrees of Separation” won the Tony for best director and multiple Obie Awards in its initial theater run. Six degrees of separation, between us and everybody else on this planet,” the character Ouisa Kittredge muses after the con is discovered. “I read somewhere that everybody on this planet is separated by only six other people. Guare heard about the man from friends who’d been conned and wrote the play, turning it into an observation on how every human is linked to each other, no matter the physical or other perceived distance, through their mutual acquaintances, friends and family. The young man, claiming he was the son of actor Sidney Poitier and a college friend of a wealthy couple’s children, ingratiated himself into New York society and charmed at least a dozen people, including celebrities, into giving him money, shelter and access to other potential victims. “The man who sought true human connection and his own brand of fame did indeed find it, but not in the way he expected,” Kennedy says. Theatre professor Kyle Kennedy is directing this MTSU Arts production of playwright John Guare’s “based on a true story” play, which follows the trail of connections made and destroyed by a young man gifted in changing his persona to fit his audience.
