:: MiraCosta College Theatre

This modern comedy tracks the struggle of a boy named Jesse to focus in an era of electronic overstimulation and confusion as his parents try to determine if their son’s problems are rooted in ADD. Distracted explores this wild ride with offbeat humor, searing honesty and a provocative style.

“ THIS REVIEW DEMANDS YOUR
UNDIVIDED ATTENTION. Lisa Loomer’s
great strength as a playwright is the vigor
of her highly attuned social imagination.”

The 1940’s Radio Hour

Written by Carlsbad resident, Walton Jones, the 1940’s Radio Hour has captured the spirit of that era with Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, That Old Black Magic, Blue Moon and more. The seedy New York radio station takes to the air at the beginning of World War II in a “live” broadcast for the troops overseas. Big band music, swing dancing, quirky characters and good old-fashioned fun make this a show you won’t want to miss.

The Caucasian Chalk Circle

Based on an ancient Chinese story, this play is an epic tale of sacrifice and justice. In the land of Caucasus when war begins, a kitchen maid, risks her own life to save the life of a noble child. Escaping the city, where the child would certainly be murdered, she takes the infant with her on a perilous journey. But when the wealthy mother returns to claim him, their fates lie in the hands of a wily, unpredictable judge who will determine the child’s true mother by the test of the chalk circle.

”An epic play in more than one sense of the word and a thoroughly entertaining evening. Brecht’s plays contain a rare poetic vision, a voice that has rarely been paralleled in the 20th century.”
