"Too Much Light Makes the Baby go Blind" features several short comedic plays that focus on the often comic, sometimes touching, and always remarkable incongruities and quirks of modern life. The cast is composed entirely of first-year students.
"We wanted to be able to recruit new students by getting them involved early in a fun, short-term experience," says Pachoud, associate professor of theater. "All of these fresh faces have unique and exciting talents."
Audiences will find the show hilariously funny, and each night the order of events will change.
"The show is full of surprises and audiences won't be disappointed," Pachoud said.
