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.

The theater program is a strong liberal arts training program designed to provide students with a foundation in the areas of performances, design and technology, and history and literature. In addition, students are required to choose an emphasis in performance, design and technology, or production management to study at an advanced level. Throughout a student's years in the program, there are ample opportunities to apply both academic knowledge and acquired skills to a variety of live production experiences. A senior project in a student's particular area of emphasis serves as a capstone to culminate four years of study. All of this theoretical and hands-on learning takes place in a personal, supportive, collegial environment. We pride ourselves on personal mentorship of each theater student. As a theater major or minor, you will find tremendous opportunities both on-and-off stage to fulfill your artistic goals and cultivate a lifelong connection to theater.
