"...The playwright at the same time provides her entertaining take on the cliquish domain of the nannies, who are as quirky and competitive as the women they work for. Zoila (Lorena Sabogal) lives grudgingly in the house of Hodsoll’s Wallace and clandestinely feeds sugar-coated treats to her charge; Sandra (Stefanie Garcia) drains her batteries babysitting the wild-child twins of Saade’s Linda, leaving little in reserve to tend to her own kids. (Like Ana, Sandra commutes to the job — they are, in the caregiving vernacular, “living out.”) Sabogal and Garcia both offer spirited, finely-tuned portrayals."

"...Sometimes theater takes viewers far away to other cultures or imagined times. Living Out (a term for nannies who do not “live in”) brings something central to everyday life and allows us to examine it anew, with lightness as well as with serious intent. Get a babysitter and “take it in.”"

It takes more than a mother and father to raise a child. So when well-educated women feel the call to work outside their homes, who cares for the kids? Easy: Hire an immigrant. Playwright Lisa Loomer moves in for closer scrutiny of a hired Hispanic nanny, her family, and a high-powered, politically-liberal leaning, yuppie L.A. couple, in Living Out/Cama Afuera, written in 2003.
