It's a Beautiful Wound by Rich Orloff
About the event
It’s a Beautiful Wound, written and performed by Rich Orloff, is the true story of Rich’s adventures in underground therapy using MDMA (a.k.a. Ecstasy) and psilocybin mushrooms. These sessions, based on cutting-edge experiments to help people heal from deep psychological wounds, propel Rich beyond his ego and defenses into a journey that both challenges his perceptions and reveals possibilities he never before considered. Inspired by the autobiographical monologues of Spalding Gray, It’s a Beautiful Wound takes the audience through the experience of psychedelic-assisted therapy in an honest, amusing, and deeply compelling way.
But the show is about more than just psychedelics. Ultimately, It’s a Beautiful Wound is about one person’s journey towards reconciliation with the soul.

“You know it’s a compelling evening of theater when, as the audience is exiting after the show, they’re still discussing the impact of what they’ve seen and felt. That’s how our audience responded.”
