Gail Thomas' PATIENT 13 Will Play Three Nights At Pangea

Gail Thomas’ award-winning solo comedy Patient 13 will return for three nights at Pangea this September. Following a critically acclaimed run at Los Angeles’ Rogue Machine Theater and a New York stop at The Tank, the show will continue its NYC premiere with performances on September 11, 18, and 20.

Chronically single but up for adventure, Thomas confronts a frightening medical diagnosis that leads her to join an FDA magic mushroom study. What follows is an offbeat journey through love, illness, and psychedelic healing. Patient 13 runs 60 minutes without intermission.

Thomas is the winner of the 2024 LA Progressive Progie and LA Hidden Gems Awards, and she has been featured by The New York Times, The Atlantic, Vsauce, and CNN. The show is directed by Dan Oliverio.
