Description

Written by award-winning playwright Lynne Kaufman and performed by acclaimed actor Warren David Keith, "Acid Test: The Many Incarnations of Ram Dass" reveals the fascinating true-life story of one of the most notable personalities of the '60s psychedelic revolution. He started out as Richard Alpert, born into a wealthy Jewish family and working hard to become a highly regarded Harvard psychology professor. But when he met Timothy Leary and began to use psychedelics to "tune in, turn on and drop out," Alpert underwent a series of deep transformations that led him to India to meet his spiritual guru, the famous Maharaj-ji. After returning to the States, Alpert changed his name to Ram Dass and became an international lecturer on enlightenment, non-attachment and inner peace. This journey culminated in his living out the concept of conscious aging following a devastating stroke, which challenged all that he thought he knew and was immortalized in his best-selling book, "Be Here Now". In "Acid Test" we get to meet and fall in love with all of Ram Dass's complexities, beautifully painted with humor, humility and the lasting truth of love with no boundaries.
