Frank South's
Pay Attention: ADHD in Hollywood,
On the Rocks with a Twist
A hypomanic, alcoholic, one-man show with ADHD.


Some emails from Pay Attention audiences -


"I attended the one man act play, "Pay Attention ADHD Hollywood On The Rocks With A Twist" starring Frank South on Friday night May 8, 2009. Not only was his script well written by himself; I also laughed at the real stuff of life done in comedy. I have to say it was brilliant! What I loved most is how Mr. South shows how the human brain trys to take over and run the individual. Years from now this class act will be considered a work of genius, if not so already. Thank you to the producer, Margaret who is Frank's wife and to the director Mark. WELL DONE."

"I had the wonderful opportunity to experience "Pay Attention" at The Other Space at Santa Monica Playhouse, where Frank South performed his one man show! This is a MUST SEE performance! Frank gives us an opportunity to go into the mind of someone with ADHD. Riveting!
Best,"

"We went last night to experience the wonders of the life history of Frank South... He raves / enacts / reacts / explains / reveals / entertains ... He is tortured / confused / embarrassed / tormented / drunk / touching / funny / and beyond balistic / crazy. He celebrates his life with honesty and humor. An amazing performance and grand example of accepting the life that we get!"

- Kit Kowalke


"It is utterly riveting and entertaining. I recommend if you want to see first-class theater, go to this play!"

"In the weeks since we saw your show, we have sent a number of mother/teenage child W/ ADHD friends along with Verns' entire building crew, whom were promised an eye-opening look into their own alcoholic/ADHD lives. Your gift of storytelling makes this difficult subject a personal invitation to self-review and toward personal change. This is a tremendous healing opportunity for all who sit with you during your performance. Thank you for bringing us all to the table!

Vern and I were so impressed with your passion and positivism that we are ready to stop the remodel and go on tour with you as your ANYTHING ASSISTANT. Heck, our lives would be so much more enriched than just looking out the window of our brand new (someday to be finished) addition!

We are grateful that your vision and perseverance can touch so many, which will ripple out as true honest reflection does."

"Great Show!!! You were right up there with Sean Phillips doing Marlene Deitrich in London in '98, I swear. That was me shouting BRAVO from the third row on the 25th. Absolutely Great."

- Mary Bell


"Wanted to say again, that we really enjoyed your show. It is Powerful!"

- Rene Confair and Paul Sensano


"I saw "Pay Attention" Friday night and thought it and you were amazing. The energy! Problem was I spent the whole evening fighting between laughing and worrying. Anyway, congratulations and I hope "Pay Attention" is seen by many--it's wonderful."
