Foothills Performing Arts Center presents
The Neo-Futurists
TOO MUCH LIGHT MAKES THE BABY GO BLIND
Performance Series - Late Night Fridays,
curtain at 9:00pm, through July and August
TOO MUCH LIGHT MAKES THE BABY GO BLIND-
is described as “an ever-changing attempt to perform 30 personal, political, satirical, serious, comic and surreal plays in 60 minutes.” Though the show is different each time, new material added, existing material affected by audiences and performers, each performance promises an emotional and intellectual roller coaster of ideas and images ridden at breakneck speeds by a participating audience. Each short play is written by a performer, honed by the ensemble, and randomly collaged with 29 other plays through high-energy audience participation. This rollicking ride is the anchor performing group of the “New Vaudeville” series at Foothills, presented through July and August at 9:00pm.
July 3,17,31 - Aug 14,28, 2009
9:00pm / $10+a roll of the die
“A rejuvenating exploration of the human condition.” –Washington Square News
“Like the glory days of Saturday Night Live, only funnier and slightly surreal.” –Backstage
“Viscerally exploits the connection between performer and spectator for maximum ka-pow.” –NY Theatre
