Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind
Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind is a chaotic, rapid-fire theatre experience originally developed by the Neo-Futurists. This show features 30 short plays performed in 60 minutes, each with a unique tone, style,
and structure, ranging from comedic to heartfelt to absurd. With a focus on experimentation, honesty, and immediacy, the show invites audience participation and thrives on unpredictability.
Every actor in the cast will not only perform but also direct 1–3 of the plays. Cast members are expected to
take ownership of their pieces, including blocking, cleaning, lighting, sound, props, and costumes
(Cayman Powell, Tessa Lamb, and Jessica Dockrill will be available to help with these responsibilities).
Directed by Cayman Powell

Godspell (2012)
A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and a hefty dose of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus' messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life.
Using the updated 2012 version, we will be bringing a modern take on this beautiful musical and discover what happens when we disconnect from the screens and reconnect with each other—rebuilding, believing, and creating something unforgettable.

CASTING
Character Breakdown
Jesus
Must be the most charismatic individual in the cast. High energy, charming, funny, gentle but with strength. He is the sort of person others instinctively follow.
Vocal range top: G#4 Vocal range bottom: Db3
John The Baptist/Judas
He has attributes of both Biblical figures: He is both Jesus' lieutenant and most ardent disciple and the doubter who begins to question and rebel. Like Jesus, he is also charismatic, but in more of an overt revolutionary way. Usually played by someone handsome and masculine, with an undertone of sexuality. He is the most "serious" and intellectual of the group, though as with all the actors, he must still possess a good sense of physical comedy.
Vocal range top: E4 Vocal range bottom: C3
Nick
Very high energy. Impish and playful. In the original, he played several musical instruments, including concertina, recorder and guitar.
Vocal range top: D5 Vocal range bottom: B2
Telly
Not the brightest in the bunch, he is a little slow on the uptake. But there is a great sweetness and innocence about him. Because he sings "All Good Gifts" he must be a very good singer.
Vocal range top: C4 Vocal range bottom: G2
George
The comedian, the class clown. The guy who can do a hundred voices and imitations.
Vocal range top: E5 Vocal range bottom: G3
Anna Maria
A bit of a tomboy, but basically open and sweet. Perhaps the youngest of the group. She is the first of the group to commit to following Jesus in the song "Day by Day."
Vocal range top: C#5 Vocal range bottom: G#3
Lindsay
The confident one, the show-off. The first one to volunteer, sometimes she jumps in before she really understands what's going on.
Vocal range top: C#6 Vocal range bottom: G#3
Uzo
The shy one. Sometimes a little slow to get things, but when she does, she commits all the way. Has an "earth mother" kind of warmth to her.
Vocal range top: B4 Vocal range bottom: A3
Morgan
Sassy and slightly cynical, the most urban of the group. Also the "sexy" one, but her sexiness contains a large element of put-on, in the manner of Mae West or Madonna (who in fact once played this role.)
Vocal range top: F5 Vocal range bottom: E3
Celisse
The female equivalent of the class clown. Goofy and a cut-up. In the 2012 Broadway revival, she played several instruments, including conga, ukulele and guitar.
Vocal range top: A5 Vocal range bottom: A3
Ensemble:
The ensemble helps tell the story through singing, dancing, and group scenes. They appear throughout the show and often take on featured moments in parables and songs. Strong energy and teamwork are key.
