“The Mushroom Cure” to Play Mosesian Center for the Arts April 10–11 for Special Live Filming

By |

The following announcement was provided by “The Mushroom Cure”:

Writer and performer Adam Strauss will present his acclaimed solo show “The Mushroom Cure” at the Mosesian Center for the Arts in Watertown, Massachusetts, on April 10 and 11, 2026. The performances will be filmed to create a feature film of the live show, executive produced by bestselling author Michael Pollan and journalist Hamilton Morris. The Mushroom Cure is the true story of Strauss’s quest to cure his severe obsessive-compulsive disorder with psychedelics. The show has received widespread critical acclaim for both its emotional depth and humor, with The New York Times writing that it “mines a great deal of laughter from disabling pain” and the Chicago Tribune calling it “arrestingly honest and howlingly funny.”

Each performance will include a post-show conversation. On Friday, April 10, Strauss will be joined by Hamilton Morris for a discussion on psychedelics and mental health.
