Something terrible happened to Ana at a college party, but she can't remember what. In an unfortunately common tale, she must search for answers, wade through the muck of bureaucracy, and try to figure out her enemies from her allies on campus. But finding the truth and proving it has consequences for everyone around her. Who's willing to pay the price? This story from local playwright E.M. Lewis asks the audience to witness the humans behind these all too familiar events.

“In post-9/11 Newark, NJ, two teenagers who were brought to America as children become one another’s sanctuaries from harsh circumstances. When G becomes naturalized, she and B hatch a plan to marry so that he may legally remain in the country and pursue the future he imagines for his life. But as time hurtles on and complications mount, the young friends find that this act challenges and fractures the closest relationship either has ever had.” - Theatrical Rights Worldwide

Taking audience participation to a whole new level, Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind (30 plays in 60 minutes) by Greg Allen invites the audience to dictate the order in which scenes are performed, crafting one-of-a-kind experiences each performance. An excerpt from the ongoing devised show put on by the Neo-futurist Ensemble in Chicago, Too Much Light invites both the ensemble and the audience to let loose and embrace the chaos.
