GUELPH – Award winning Canadian actor and writer Daniel Stolfi is presenting Cancer Can’t Dance Like This – 10 Years Later on Oct. 19 at The River Run Centre, Co-operators Hall.
In March of 2008, at the age of 25, Daniel Stolfi was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, an aggressive form of cancer requiring equally aggressive chemotherapy treatment over the next two years.
With comedy at its core, Stolfi created Cancer Can’t Dance Like This, a solo show which used larger than life characters to vividly portray his lost attributes to the disease – his hair, his strength, his appetite and even his sex drive.
Cancer Can’t Dance Like This recalled the pain Daniel endured during his treatment while embracing his own saving grace – the fine art of comedy.
Cancer Can’t Dance Like This – 10 Years Later is a reflection and follow up piece to the original Canadian Comedy Award-winning show, Cancer Can’t Dance Like This and will be performed nearly 10 years to the day of the River Run production in 2009.
With his unique comedic flare, Stolfi will revisit all of the original characters from Cancer Can’t Dance Like This, while sharing stories of survivorship that he has collected along the way.
Throughout it all, the message remains the same: even after 10 years, Cancer still can’t dance like this.
Tickets are available for $30 and can be purchased online at RiverRun.ca or at the River Run box office.
