The Mushroom Cure

The New York Times said The Mushroom Cure "Mines a great deal of laughter from disabling pain." Time Out New York called it "Riveting... a true-life tour de force" and named it a Critics' Pick. In this completely true story, Adam Strauss recounts how, inspired by a scientific study showing that hallucinogenic mushrooms can potentially cure obsessive-compulsive disorder, he embarked on a program of vigilante psychopharmacology.

After garnering stellar reviews overseas from The Scotsman ("Hugely Intelligent"), Broadway Baby ("A Revelation"), EdFest Magazine ("Outstanding"), The Skinny ("Extremely Gifted"), Three Weeks ("Intensely Gripping"), and The Herald ("Highly Recommended"), The Mushroom Cure made its U.S. debut in the New York Fringe Festival, where it won The Overall Excellence Award for Solo Performance.
