SUMMARY: The semi-autobiographical, riotous account of stage-struck young David Kolowitz working as a delivery man in a sewing machine factory. Denying his parent's wishes to be a druggist, he leaves their dreams and his devoted girlfriend Wanda behind and is soon enlisted (and paying for) a slot as the "leading man" in a third-rate theatrical company while being seduced by the resident leading lady, the daughter of the hammy artistic director. His baptism of fire is a hilarious first performance where everything that can go wrong, does.
