Cancer Can't Dance Like This

In March of 2008, Daniel Stolfi was diagnosed with Acute Non-Hodgkin's T-Lymphoblastic Lymphoma, an aggressive form of cancer that would need equally aggressive chemotherapy treatment over the following two years of his life. Just when his acting career in the big city was starting to take off, he needed to put it all on hold to embark on the most physically, mentally, and emotionally draining journey of his life. While battling Cancer, Daniel lost his Hair, his Appetite, his Strength and his Sex Drive.

The most tragic of all, he lost his ability and his desire to Dance. In Cancer Can't Dance Like This, Daniel invites the audience into his fight with a number of comedic monologues, musical numbers and character portrayals of his lost attributes to the disease. The question: can Cancer out dance the Dancing Machine? Although he is merciless in how vivid a picture he paints, Dan's story is told with a thrill and lust for the finer (but also the necessary) things in life like no other survival story ever performed on stage. He has the courage to recount the pain he endured during his treatment process, and does so with what he describes as his own saving grace "the fine art of comedy. "
