‘I got rid of all the toxic people and there was no one left.’

Gail is good at setting boundaries and staying busy until a scary diagnosis forces her to ask for help. But, who can she trust? Her life takes unexpected turns, hilarious and shocking, leading to her participation as patient #13 out of 29 in a clinical study treating cancer survivors with anxiety and depression with magic mushrooms.

Winner: Progie Theater Award for outstanding progressive plays.

Winner: LA Hidden Gems award.
