Keith Alessi shares his exceptional true story of leaving the world of corporate boardrooms behind to follow his long-delayed passion—playing the banjo!

When faced with a serious cancer battle, Keith’s musical pursuit took him on a journey that became the key to saving his life. Told through authentic storytelling, humor and music, Keith’s story is an uplifting tale of challenge, triumph, and the healing power of music and theatre.

A heartwarming, true story of transformation, this show has captivated audiences around the globe, with sold out runs across Canada, Off-Broadway in New York City, and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland 3 years in a row. Tomatoes… is a one-person play that is a tour-de-force.

Keith recently celebrated his 10th year of being cancer-free. Learn more: www.tomatoestriedtokillme.com
