Lights, Camera, Distraction! is an hour-long sketch show that spoofs, subverts,
and satirizes the silver screen moments that defined us. For film buffs and
casual moviegoers alike, it’s a whirlwind tour through decades of cinema history
that refuses to take any of it seriously.
Writer/Director Chris Kivlahan (from the viral online sketch comedy group Wet
Mouth) combines his deep love of movies and deeper love of parody to bring a
fast-paced hour of what-ifs, deleted scenes, and whimsical send-ups of the
theater experience to Second City’s intimate Donny’s Skybox theater.
Already in rehearsals, this high-energy, limited engagement show features
hilarious sketches, spot-on impressions, and a musical number straight out of
La La Land – with a parody twist, of course. It makes its red carpet premiere on
December 7th at 6:00 PM, with additional shows on the 14th, 21st, and 28th.
What was actually in that blue pill in The Matrix? Did they really need a bigger
boat, or is it how you use it? Does every Fight Club need the same rules? Lights,
Camera, Distraction! answers questions you never knew you had. Be sure to
catch it in theaters before the studio dumps it on a streamer.
Presented by Lucky Girl Productions, this unmissable show stars a talented
ensemble comprised of Timothy Edward, Ella Eisman, Blair Girkins, Tristan
Halloran, Hugo Hentoff, and Declan Rhodes.
