RSVPs: Please RSVP directly to me at duncan@wolfhusky.org. Please let me know if you will be at the DINNER, the THEATER, or BOTH.
RSVPs sent to LiveJournal and to the LAFF mailing list will be cheerfully ignored. A reminder: “I might be there” is not an RSVP. “I may be bringing three friends” is not a useful RSVP. These will be ignored.

Last time we did this we had a crowd of about 30 folks and everyone had a great time. I’m looking forward to another awesome night.

The NeoFuturists describe Too Much Light this way: “Too Much Light…, with its ever-changing “menu,” is an attempt to perform 30 plays in 60 minutes. The single unifying element of these plays is that they are performed from a perspective of absolute honesty. We always appear as ourselves on stage, speaking directly from our personal experiences. Each short play is written by a performer, honed by the ensemble, and randomly collaged with twenty-nine other plays through high-energy audience participation. Each week, these plays shift as ensemble members add new plays to the existing body of work. Each night of performance, we create an unreproducable living newspaper collage of the comic and tragic, the political and personal, and the visceral and experimental.”

Having seen their performances many times, I can say be prepared for a night of unconventional theater, some crazy participatory stuff, some funny pieces, some plays to make you think. I hope to see you there!
