About the Show

Nick Landers wants to marry Luna Lieberman. But first he has to earn her father’s blessing by joining the family on a journey—the kind you take without leaving the living room.

From the show:

The only problem is Nick has never done drugs before—or “medicine,” according to Shanti, the family’s therapist/shaman. She and her partner Brad are serving Peruvian ayahuasca in heart-shaped chocolates at the Liebermans’ Malibu home this Sabbath, just in time for a surprise visit from Grandma Stern. And you’re invited on the journey.

Along the way you’ll meet a pet psychologist, an up-and-coming pop singer, a rookie cop with a blushing problem, a retired Elvis impersonator and mafia money runner, and a dog named Tom Petty who’s possessed by the ghost of Tom Petty. You’ll watch generations clash, worldviews collide, stars explode into trippy supernovae. You’ll grasp for an instant the infinite mind of God.

An interesting exploration of family

See it if You are interested in a non traditional exploration of family and boundaries.

Don't see it if You are looking for a big production and are uncomfortable about drug use

Quirky, Great acting, Funny, Clever

See it if you enjoy the California "spiritual" scene, you can relate to a talking dog, you enjoy family interactions, your sense of humor is loose

Don't see it if drug use offends you

Great acting, Funny, Enchanting, Delightful, Clever

See it if You want to see a fun comedy and watch a fantastic ensemble cast with excellent comedic chops have a great time.

Don't see it if you're looking for something heavier than what's in the show description.

Great acting, Entertaining, Absorbing

See it if you like plays with a large cast

Don't see it if you dont like plays about drug use

Disappointing, Ambitious, Slow, Dated, Confusing

See it if You like plays about the '60s '70s free for all hallucinogenic drug days where the whole family gets involved together.

Don't see it if You want a clearer more defined plot.

Uneven, Unfocused

See it if into a family drama in the context of psychedelics

Don't see it if you want your theater well-baked rather than well-chopped Read more

Disappointing, Banal, Dizzying, Quirky, Slow

See it if you enjoy weird: well-acted dog who is part narrator/talking friend to those on the "medicine," visit by parents hung up on circumcision.

Don't see it if you want to take something home from what you have seen. While mildly entertaining, I didn't laugh much at this "psychedelic comedy."

Cliched, Quirky, Disappointing

See it if You enjoy a large cast on a very small stage who goes through an evening of family drug abuse in order to find clarity.

Don't see it if You wouldn’t be fond of a show glorifying drug abuse in a family setting. Read more
