Summary:

Greg Allen’s groundbreaking “Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind (35 plays in 70 minutes)” has been electrifying audiences since 1988, earning its place as the longest-running show in Chicago theatre history. This high-speed theatrical thrill ride challenges an ensemble to perform “35 Plays in 70 Minutes,” with the audience choosing the order live each night. Fueled by an onstage countdown clock, the performers race against time through a wildly unpredictable mix of comic, heartbreaking, political, personal, and absurd two-minute plays. Featuring 90 short works to choose from, this ever-changing Neo-Futurist experience invites each ensemble to create a uniquely personal evening that reflects its own voice, energy, and perspective. Fast, fearless, interactive, and unlike anything else in theatre.

TOO MUCH LIGHT MAKES THE BABY GO BLIND (35 PLAYS IN 70 MINUTES) is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Playscripts. www.concordtheatricals.com
