West Coast premiere
Written and performed by Robert Montano
Directed by Jessi D. Hill
Production Stage Management by "Curly" Karen Schleifer

An autobiographical tour-de-force that The Wall Street Journal called “a gripping and vividly acted one-man show.” Bobby from Long Island is a small kid with a big dream. Bullied since childhood, his small stature finally wins him respect and success on the racetrack as a jockey. But when his body begins to grow, his dreams seem to slip away, and he must decide how far he’ll go to hold on to glory. From racing horses at Belmont Park to dancing on Broadway stages, Robert Montano brings his own breathtaking career to life onstage under the direction of Jessi D. Hill.

Numerous Broadway-bound premieres and revivals, such as "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," "The Full Monty," and "Damn Yankees" have been developed at The Old Globe and have gone on to enjoy highly successful runs in New York and at regional theaters across the country. The Old Globe is at the forefront of the nation’s leading performing arts organizations, setting a standard for excellence in American Theatre.
