The Mushroom Cure
Friday, January 9 at 7:30 PM (doors open 6:45 PM)
A hilarious and moving true story of psychedelics, OCD, and finding hope. The Mushroom Cure follows Strauss’s real-life attempt to treat his debilitating obsessive-compulsive disorder with psychedelics.
The New York Times praised it for “mining a great deal of laughter from disabling pain.”
The Chicago Tribune called it “arrestingly honest and howlingly funny.”
Bestselling author Michael Pollan described it as “brilliant, hilarious, and moving.”
Time Out New York named it a Critics’ Pick, hailing it as “a true-life tour de force.”
Before I Forget
Saturday, January 10 at 7:30 PM (doors open 6:45 PM)
Forgetting is hard. Remembering is worse. Laughing is mandatory.
In Before I Forget, Strauss takes audiences on a wildly inventive odyssey through memory, mortality, and meaning—tackling everything from Ancient Greece to artificial intelligence, Alzheimer’s to open relationships. It’s a ferociously funny meditation on what it means to remember, what it means to forget, and the impossibility of getting life right.
Warning: May contain mushrooms, existential dread, and trace amounts of hope.
