NEW YORK NEO-FUTURISTS are pleased to present their 4th Annual Pride special edition of Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind, this year benefiting LGBTQ advocacy in Uganda. TOO MUCH PRIDE MAKES THE BABY GO GAY: 30 GAY PLAYS IN 60 STRAIGHT MINUTES will be presented at The Kraine Theater (85 East 4th Street, New York, NY 10003) on Friday, June 25th and Saturday, June 26th at 10:30pm.

30 short plays reveal the struggle, the joy, the power of being out and proud in New York City in support of acceptance and freedom for all the world’s citizens.

Too Much PRIDE Makes the Baby Go Gay: 30 Gay Plays in 60 Straight Minutes, will be raising money to benefit LGBTQ advocacy in Uganda through the Fund for Global Human Rights, in an effort to combat proposed legislation that could make it a criminal offense to be gay, with punishment by imprisonment and even execution. The New York Neo-Futurists call our audiences to action in support of this important cause.

A blend of the comedic, tragic, political and always personal, the New York Neo-Futurists explore the journey from out to proud in 30 short plays over the course of one hour.

Featuring out and/or proud Neo-Futurists, Jill Beckman, Christopher Borg, Roberta Colindrez, Jacquelyn Landgraf, Erica Livingston, Daniel McCoy, Joey Rizzolo, Lusia Strus and Yolanda Kae Wilkinson.

With opening a special opening act by Regie Cabico (“The fairy godmother of DC spoken word poetry” – Washington Post) on Friday, June 25th, and a special opening act by M. Lamar (“He deconstructs the persona of the diva as he wraps himself in divalike hauteur”-New Yorker) on Saturday, June 26th.
