THE PINK HULK Returns to NYC WHAM Festival In March

Award-winning The Pink Hulk solo show traces Upper West Side resident Valerie David's inspirational journey as she fights cancer-twice. The Pink Hulk has been accepted into 26 different play festivals in a little over 2 years' time, including touring it in England, Sweden and Finland. It has won the Audience Choice Award at the Shenandoah Fringe Festival (Virginia), along with awards at the Planet Connections Theatre Festivity (Manhattan), SaraSolo Festival (Florida), IndyFringe (Indiana), Pittsburgh Fringe and Gothenburg Fringe (Sweden), as well as garnered rave reviews. The Pink Hulk has impacted audiences worldwide with its universal message of hope and empowerment.

What's the first thing Valerie does when she's diagnosed with cancer for a second time in her life? Having beaten lymphoma, she is now diagnosed with breast cancer. Afraid of "losing the girls," Valerie decides to take them out for one last hurrah. This sexy and adventurous solo show follows her triumphant journey as she finds her own "hulk-like" strength to find her superhero within.

Ms. David just returned from a successful run in her hometown of Virginia Beach at the Zeiders American Dream Theater. "My show is not just about fighting cancer, but fighting back from any adversity in life," Ms. David comments. "We all have a superhero inside of us to help us with challenges and obstacles in life. My show's mission is to help inspire you to find your superhero within!"
