OVERVIEW
“THIS REVIEW DEMANDS YOUR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION. Lisa Loomer’s great strength as a playwright is the vigor of her highly attuned social imagination… Rita Wilson brings a nurturing quality to the role that’s authentic and direct.”
Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times

Wired. But Not Connected.
Jesse is eight and easily distracted. But so are his mother and father. So are the neighbors! And the doctors! In their fractured, fast paced, overly wired lives the consequence is almost … inevitable. Or is it? Has Jesse been correctly diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder? Is it caused by over stimulation? Bad parenting? Too many chemicals in the food? Too many poisons in the environment? Or is Jesse just a kid in an ADD world?
Distracted explores this wild ride with offbeat humor, searing honesty and a provocative style.
“GO!”

“MEANINGFUL ENTERTAINMENT.
Lisa Loomer has a penchant for zeroing in on the issues that obsess upper middle-class America… Bronson Pinchot plays to his strengths as a theatrical chameleon. [The set] is a brilliant creation, reminding us that modern living—has turned out lives into one messy, high-energy distraction after another.”
