Presenter Testimonials:

“We had the great pleasure of presenting Keith Alessi’s Tomatoes Tried to Kill Me But Banjos Saved My Life at Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam.
The show is simply staged — just Keith, a few chairs, and an array of banjos — but the effect on audiences is palpable. It is inspiring, moving, funny, and compelling theatre that celebrates resilience, personal growth, and the power
of music (or whatever your passion may be) to heal both physically and emotionally.
Audience response was amazing, and the post-show Q&A sessions drew many thoughtful questions, shared experiences, and positive
comments.”
— David Mann, Performing Arts Manager, Evergreen Cultural Centre

“Keith Alessi’s Tomatoes Tried to Kill Me But Banjos Saved My Life was the perfect tonic for audiences hungry for good, honest storytelling. Keith’s simple and authentic approach draws people into his journey and invites them to laugh, reflect, and sometimes cry, as they learn some truths about life and following their passion. Having Tomatoes here in Rosebud was an absolute gift to our audiences, our community, and to this organization.
We can’t wait to have Keith, Erika, and this marvellous show back again sometime.”
— Paul Muir, Executive Director, Rosebud Theatre & School of the Arts

“The team of Keith Alessi, Erika Conway, and Kelly Finnegan were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were quick to respond to questions and requests and were organized with both marketing and technical details. Our
audience truly enjoyed the show and its beautifully resonant message.”
— Christina Campbell, Artistic Director, Surrey Civic Theatres’ Presentation Series

This is more than a show, this is a cause. Before taking to the stage, Keith Alessi was a well-known public company CEO, entrepreneur, and college professor. He led companies in both Canada and the United States. He left the corporate world to pursue his passion for music and playing the banjo, only then to discover a cancer diagnosis and a battle for his life. This is the uplifting tale of how music became the key to saving Keith Alessi's life. His mission is to raise money for arts and culture and cancer organizations. To date he has raised $1.2 million. He has performed in Fringe Festivals and other professional venues across Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

ALL PROCEEDS FROM THIS SHOW WILL BE INVESTED INTO ARTS & CULTURE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
