"Jonna's Body, Please Hold," takes a comedic, innovative look at surviving cancer. It is not your "usual" cancer story, but a wholly original, fast paced, creative, and hilarious performance.
Moving, funny and highly entertaining, "Jonna's Body, Please Hold" is the brainchild of actress Jonna Tamases, who, after three bouts with cancer (Hodgkin’s, Large-Cell Lymphoma, Breast) and a stint as a circus clown, brought her story to life as a groundbreaking and inspiring one-woman play. The play has received rave reviews and award nominations, and brings audiences to their feet. It is not only a helpful tool for patients, survivors, family and friends, and medical professionals, but a wildly entertaining theater event for all audiences.
"The show blew us away! There are not enough accolades."
– Stephanie Allen, GILDA’S CLUB
