30 On Thursday is a part of an effort to raise money for a remount of Beer, the Neo-Futurist original "brewmastering puppet-jamming rock musical," at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver. 30 On Thursday combines some of the company's best Too Much Light plays from the last 20 years - we're big TML fans, so we're pretty sure it's going to be awesome. As an added bonus, for an extra $5 you can hit up a post-show beer tasting at Hopleaf.

The Goodman Theatre’s winter event A GLOBAL EXPLORATION: Eugene O'Neill in the 21st Century wraps up this weekend with three performances of the nine-act Strange Interlude. Produced in association with the Neo-Futurists -- best known for the always entertaining and constantly changing ,Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind -- it is arguably the most rarely-revived of the six scripts in the Goodman’s O’Neill series.

It started out as a late-night show at Stage Left in December 1988, and now this ever-changing attempt to stage 30 plays in 60 minutes is the longest-running show in Chicago theater. There are a few simple rules. The roll of a six-sided die determines how much you pay to get in. The plays are performed in random order. No reservations. When they sell out, they order out (pizza for everyone, which happens more often than not on Saturday nights). TMLMTBGB, as its known to hardcore fans, remains the most consistently exciting, stimulating show in the whole city. And as the Neo-Futurists like to say, since the show changes weekly, if you've seen it once, you've seen it once.
