TheatreWorks, the nationally-acclaimed theatre of Silicon Valley, closes its 39th season with the regional premiere of DISTRACTED, the off-beat modern comic drama that tells the story of a worn-out mother looking for answers about her son.

Insightful, poignant and funny, DISTRACTED was hailed as 'a passionate emotional journey...with impressive comic swiftness' by the Los Angeles Times. Directed by Armando Molina, DISTRACTED will feature TheatreWorks favorite Rebecca Dines as the mother, and TheatreWorks veterans Suzanne Grodner, Gabriel Hoffman, Tara Blau, Elizabeth Carter, Cassidy Brown, and making their TheatreWorks debut, Robert Yacko and Dena Martinez. DISTRACTED plays April 1 -26, 2009 (press opening: April 4) at TheatreWorks at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts in Mountain View.

TheatreWorks, the nationally-acclaimed theatre of Silicon Valley, is proud to present the regional premiere of TWENTIETH CENTURY by Ben Hecht-Charles MacArthur, based on a play by Charles Bruce Milholland in a new adaptation by Ken Ludwig. Broadway and Hollywood collide in this classic screwball comedy set in the 1930s, in which a rapidly declining Broadway impresario looks to revive his sagging career. Using mistaken identity, chicanery, and catastrophe, he attempts to coax his unforgiving former flame (now a mercurial silver screen starlet) into starring in his next stage production while aboard a train roaring across the U.S.

Adapted by celebrated farceur Ken Ludwig, this classic screwball comedy, based on the 1930's play by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur, tells the tale of a Broadway impresario on the decline,who, desperately seeking to revive his sagging career, used mistaken identity, chicanery, and catastrophe to coax his unforgiving former flame and mercurial silver screen starlet into starring in his next production.
