Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind

ABOUT ABOUT

Having opened in 1988 and still playing today as the longest-running show in Chicago history, Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind is an ensemble experiment in presenting "30 Plays in 60 Minutes." Each two-minute play is performed in random order with an interactive audience. An onstage 60-minute timer keeps everyone honest. 

"Still the most clever, most urgent show in town." - J. Scott Hill, Chicago Stage Review

"Allen's tongue-in-cheek updating of a futurist entertainment...is unashamedly live and democratic theater." - Lawrence Bommer, Chicago Reader

"...pure artistic expression, a sort of mental and emotional purging for the performers that, quite often, resonates in some way with the audience. Whether this resonance is characterized by laughter or a somber silence depends on the scene." - Chicago Theatre Beat
