More about the show

"Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind (30 Plays in 60 Minutes)" was one of the longest-running shows in the history of Chicago theatre, opening in December 1988, playing 50 weekends out of the year, and running through 2016. Created by an ensemble of theatre artists led by Greg Allen, "Too Much Light" challenges our notions of theatre and creates an environment where audiences and performers playfully engage with each other. Come be part of the fun!
