A Fundraiser for Workshop West Playwrights’ Theatre

Keith Alessi returns home to share the exceptional true story of leaving his corporate job here in Edmonton behind to follow his true passion —playing the banjo! Faced with a diagnosis of cancer, Keith’s secret dream became the transformative key to saving his life. With sold out runs from the Edinburgh Festival to Off Broadway you won’t want to miss this heartwarming, true story that has captivated audiences internationally.
