Cynthia Nixon may
be best known for her role as the ever-striving Miranda
Hobbes on television's Sex and the City, but
she never stays away from theater for too long.
In 2006, Nixon
won a Tony for her performance in David Lindsay-Abaire's
Pulitzer Prize-winning Rabbit Hole and later
that year starred in an off-Broadway revival of The Prime
of Miss Jean Brodie.
Off-Broadway will
see her again next season, starring in the New York
premiere of Lisa Loomer's Distracted. The play,
which had its world premiere last year at the Mark Taper
Forum in Los Angeles, will begin performances next
February at the Roundabout Theatre Company's Laura
Pels Theatre. Mark Brokaw will direct. Production
dates and other cast members will be announced.
Distracted concerns a mother trying to deal
with her son's attention deficit disorder. (AP)
