30 Neo-Futurist Plays from Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind

"Unspeakably hilarious!"

30 plays. 60 minutes. One unforgettable night of FUN. 

Yard Dogs Ensemble, the resident theatre company of The Robert Mello Studio, presents Greg Allen’s 30 Neo-Futurist Plays from Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind—the legendary theatrical phenomenon that became Chicago’s longest-running show!

Every performance is different. The audience chooses the order of the plays, the clock never stops, and the cast races to complete all 30 pieces before time runs out. The result is a thrilling mix of comedy, heartbreak, absurdity, music, confession, and pure theatrical invention.

Fast, funny, surprising, and deeply human, Too Much Light is unlike anything you’ve seen before. Whether you’ve spent your life in the theatre or are looking for an unforgettable first experience, prepare for an evening that is spontaneous, interactive, and impossible to predict.

Come ready to laugh, think, cheer, participate, and see just how much theatre can happen in sixty minutes.

Running time: 60 minutes (plus pre-show experience)
