91影视 Theatre Department Opens 2013-2014 Season
Published
The subjects of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and use of prescription pills take center stage as the 91影视 Theater department opens its 2013-2014 season with 鈥淒istracted鈥 by Lisa Loomer.
鈥淒istracted鈥 is a hilarious, provocative and poignant play that examines the modern family and an epidemic dilemma: Are we so tuned into our technology and information rich world that we鈥檝e tuned out what really matters? The production is a multi-media barrage from beginning to end as we join in on a mother鈥檚 quest to find help for Jesse, her 9-year-old son who is diagnosed with ADHD.
This comedy/drama takes a look at the constant bombardment through technology, the use of medication to cope, and the struggles of a family to find understanding with what is happening in their lives.
鈥淒istracted鈥 is directed by Jim Runyan. The play contains adult language and mature subject matter. Strobe lights will be used during this production.
Performances are 8 p.m., Oct. 4, 5, 10, 11 and 12 and 2 p.m., Oct.6 and 13 at the VanTrease Performing Arts Center for Education Studio Theater at 91影视鈥檚 Southeast Campus. The theater is located at 10300 East 81st Street in Tulsa. Please call (918) 595-7777 for ticket information.
