ANDERSONVILLE — The Neo-Futurists in Chicago, New York and San Francisco have settled on "The Infinite Wrench" as the name of its new late-night show.

In December, the experimental theater announced it was developing a new show to replace "Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind" after Neo-Futurist founder Greg Allen revoked the Chicago company's right to perform it in late November.

Since the announcement, the three-city, three-company collaboration has been experimenting with different elements and structures. The groups will continue to collaborate to present new works quickly, according to a news release from the group.

“We’re changing our show’s name, but we are still The Neo-Futurists. We are making new work at a fast weekly clip, and those plays tell our honest first-person perspectives through chance, risk and speed,” said Artistic Director Kurt Chiang. "We’ll continue to welcome sold-out audiences around the block to our shows every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 50 weekends of the year, every year."

"The Infinite Wrench," is a barrage of two-minute plays, each offering something different, according to its website. It will debut in all three cities Friday.

The Chicago ensemble will perform the show at the Neo-Futurarium, 5153 N. Ashland Ave., every weekend except Dec. 15-17 and Dec 22-24. Advance tickets are available here.
