The Neo-Futurists, creators of Chicago's longest-running show Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind, welcome three new members to their ensemble: Ida Cuttler, Nick Hart and Jeewon Kim. These new writer/director/performers make their debuts in 2015, so make sure to head over to The Neo-Futurarium to see them in action. Too Much Light... performs Fridays and Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. and Sundays at 7:00 p.m. at 5153 N. Ashland. More information can be found at www.neofuturists.org.

About the new additions, Co-Artistic Director Bilal Dardai says, "Nick, Ida, and Jeewon each bring new, distinctive voices and talents to our company. Our ensemble chose these three out of a very large pool of excellent artists because of their strong writing, compelling onstage energy, and confidence in their individual perspectives. We know that they will create amazing work with us in our theater."

Ida Cuttler is a writer and performer who studied at art schools in San Francisco and Los Angeles before moving to Chicago. Ida writes for Reductress.com, creates one half of the YouTube series Ida & Sophie Livefeed the World and has worked as an improvisor at pH and The Playground.

Nick Hart is a graduate from Columbia College Chicago and has written and performed solo and ensemble works on several stages throughout Chicago including The Den, Gorilla Tango, and Stage 773. Nick is a proud company member of Barrel of Monkeys and InGen Productions.
