Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind

Patrick Tangredi

Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind
This collection of 30 two-minute plays combines a little bit of everything – comic, tragic, political, personal, and abstract plays! Each brief play is performed in a random order decided by an interactive audience. An onstage 60-minute timer keeps everyone honest. If the cast doesn’t finish all 30 plays in 60 minutes or less, we’ll buy a pizza!

Accommodation request statement

PCC is committed to providing access and accommodation for people who experience disabilities. Accommodation requests should be made by emailing or calling Patrick Tangredi patrick.tangredi@pcc.edu or 971-722-4323. Because some accommodations take time to implement, it is most helpful to receive requests with as much advance notice as possible.

Parking

When attending a PCC Sylvania performance, please note that on weekdays (Mon-Fri), a parking pass ($2 minimum) pass is required. We suggest parking in Lot 7. Parking passes are not required on weekends. Though you can park in either lots 7 or 9, Lot 9 is the most accessible to the PAC, and Lot 7 has a more reliable parking pass kiosk (according to patrons).
