| "Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind" |
by Storm (from Calgary)
April 2006 - Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind is the signature show of The Neo-Futurists theater company and the longest running show in Chicago. And...VERY COOL! If you're visiting Chicago or live there and you haven't seen this show, GO! Not only is it brilliantly entertaining, it's also a completely unique, unreproducable piece of theater.
The lowdown - If you go on a Friday or Saturday night, the show starts at 11.30pm and it is first come, first served, cash only at the door. When I went, we had to roll a dice to determine our ticket price - it was $7 + the dice so you could pay as little as $8 but only as much as $13.
The space - The theater itself is quite small and intimate with less than 150 seats and it had a cool rehearsal-like feeling rather than a polished elegant-curtains-velvety-seats kind of place.
The show - TMLMTBGB is a high-energy, somewhat impromptu collage of 30 sketches in 60 minutes, much driven by audience participation (shouting out, not acting) and ever-changing from week to week. When I went, if the actors fail to get through the 30 plays in the allotted time, the audience gets free pizza and apparently it has occasionally happened.
