Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind is an ever changing attempt to perform 30 Plays in 60 Minutes. All of the plays are written, directed and performed by the performing artists, or the UnSemble as we call them. They were all true the day they were written and will be true the day they are performed. The UnSemble play no other characters but themselves and the fourth wall is non-existent. The audience is in charge of the order of the plays and no two shows are ever the same. Performances run the gamut from comedy to tragedy from absurd to political from musical to movement and beyond. While there are elements of chaos and chance this is not improv or sketch comedy and this is not your mama's theatre. This is neo-futurism and its fast pace and in your face truth is connecting with audiences young and old. Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind is UnLike anything you've ever seen.

UnTheatre Co Founder and Producer Christina Killmar reflects on the second season producing Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind. "Recently one audience member said that our work is some of the best experimental theatre coming out of Detroit and I would say it is quite an honor to have our work seen that way. We've been able to reach audiences from 16-85 years old these past two years and connect with them in a meaningful way which is exactly what we are here to do."
