It was like old times at Heinz Hall Tuesday night. A play was created for Rocky Bleier, and he took the ball and ran with it.
Make that “The Play,” a new work about and starring the former Steelers running back. For 90 minutes Tuesday evening, he was the solo star of his own story, with Steelers Nation rooting him on in a venue known as the home of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.
As fans/patrons settled in their seats, Mr. Bleier made his entrance from an upstage door and invited everyone to listen to tales of a life lived large.
