In her latest play, "Distracted," playwright Lisa Loomer takes a humorous and realistic look into the world of attention deficit disorder. Discovering that her son has ADD sends the main character, Mama, on a search to understand the disorder.

"Loomer carefully presents various sides of the issue, complicated by the over-stimulated, plugged-in, totally wired world of today, where nothing lasts more than a minute or else is reduced to a sound bite."

The story-telling is enhanced by video images that constantly flicker across multiple screens on the stage, resulting in a unique look at an issue with which many parents and kids struggle. Source: The Associated Press
