WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Set in today's fractured, fast-paced and overly wired world, Distracted explores Attention Deficit Disorder, its affect on families and its meaning within the context of our society. The play navigates the disconcerting and at times hilariously surreal path a mother takes to find a remedy for her eight-year-old boy's "anxious and distracted" behavior. Through a maze of teachers and psychologists, the mother searches for answers. Is her son's diagnosis correct? Or is he simply reacting to the over-stimulation of TV screens and computers? Is he dysfunctional or just different?
Distracted is written by Lisa Loomer and directed by Leonard Foglia.

Distracted, the new socially conscious dramedy from Lisa Loomer now receiving its world premiere at the Mark Taper Forum, is largely about the frenetic, fractured, far-flung nature of life that has become the hallmark of the Information Age. Although Loomer's witty and insightful work slowly becomes a victim of information overload itself, it still has much to say about how we have allowed distractions to invade and rule our lives, and the price the next generation is paying for that allowance.
The solid cast, energetically directed by Leonard Foglia, is led by stalwart Rita Wilson as Mama, the concerned mother of nine-year-old Jesse (Hudson Thames), whose incessant restlessness, anxiety, [...]
