Small is Robert Montano's one-man autobiographical show about how he became a horse jockey and his later transition to acting. The show is quite interesting. Montano really holds the audience's attention for the duration. This is not a show where a performer stands on a stage and merely talks to the audience. He is all over the stage taking on and acting out not only his own persona but that of horse trainers, fellow jockeys, his parents, and more. He really draws the audience into the story. This is complemented by the sets, lighting, and sound. They do a particularly excellent job of providing a sense of place. Although some one-person shows begin to drag after a while and feel much longer than they are, this one doesn't. Even when it's over, it hardly feels like that much time has passed because it's so entertaining.

And that's our view. For more about Small or to purchase a ticket to one of the few remaining performances, visit www.georgestreetplayhouse.org/events/detail/small
