The Tampa International Fringe Festival is May 11-14, 2017. Sam Simon, a playwright and actor, will perform his play, The Actual Dance, which portrays his role as a caregiver and how his faith helped him to support his wife during breast cancer.


The Actual Dance has won awards and been performed off Broadway in New York. The play is touring the country to much acclaim.


A rare male voice in the breast cancer journey, The Actual Dance transforms the stage into an other-worldly place called The Ballroom, with an orchestra that in the show includes a cellist and classical guitarist. It is a graceful and inspiring journey through the uncharted waters of illness, where the resilience and power of the human heart ultimately persevere.


A tribute to the silent side of caregiving, the play presents a point of view that is almost never heard. It is the partner's story. It is a love story.
