Google Los Angeles Theatre InitiativeAbout the show
Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind is a variety show by the Los Angeles Theatre Initiative, a semi-professional company, presented at Upper Theatre (Thrust) during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Melding multiple genres through audience interaction, the show moves from raunchy comedies to honest confessions, with each play presenting its own story, statement or improvisation. Every performance is unique and entirely dictated by the audience. The ensemble will guide the audience, and be guided by them, throughout the 60 minutes. Those who sit close enough may even find themselves starring in the show.
Why see this show?
No two performances are alike — the audience steers the entire evening. A wildly interactive variety show that genuinely makes everyone in the room part of the story.
