\"Clarskville'sClarksville, TN<\/strong> – The Roxy Regional Theatre invites you to join us on our Facebook<\/a> page for the next installment in our “Roxy Reads” series, featuring Lisa Loomer’s “Distracted” this Saturday, May 29th, 2021 at 7:00pm.<\/p>\n

What’s wrong with nine-year-old Jesse?  He can’t sit still, he curses, he raps, and you can’t get him into — or out of — pajamas.  His teacher thinks it’s Attention Deficit Disorder.  Dad says, “He’s just a boy!”  And Mama’s on a quest for answers. <\/p>\n

\"Roxy<\/a><\/p>\n

Is Jesse dysfunctional, or just different? <\/p>\n

Don’t we all have ADD, to some degree?  She consults a psychologist, a homeopath, a neuropsychologist, and an environmental physician.  She talks to neighbors, whose kids have their own diagnoses.  A psychiatrist prescribes Ritalin for Jesse, but surely a pill can’t solve all of his problems.<\/p>\n

Featuring Charlie Olita as Jesse alongside special guest readers Sara Anderson, Ryan Bowie, Matthew Combs, E. S. Harris, Melissa Schaffner, Katie Stafford and Stephanie Stafford, DISTRACTED is a hilarious, provocative and poignant look at a modern family and an epidemic dilemma: Are we so tuned into our 24\/7 info-rich world that we’ve tuned out what really matters?<\/p>\n
