True Believers...

My colleague, author and playwright Dennis Foon is a part of an upcoming production called TRUE BELIEVERS.

In his own words:

MY ACID TRIP is a man's look back at his first hallucinogenic experience, and how that illuminated the hidden truths about his immigrant family, their secrets, and the day his great uncle got a boiled potato stuck in his mouth.

From the Solocollective website:
