The Trials of Clarence Darrow

Paul Hauck’s one-man show takes on the career and times of America’s most famous attorney, Clarence Darrow, as he defends organized labor, the teaching of evolution and infamous murderers, because, well, killing them would just add a couple more murders to the list. While Hauck doesn’t have quite the heft of Darrow—and he’s certainly got more hair—under the direction of Richard Williams, he captures the lawyer’s gruff charm. Sa 7pm, F 11/20 7pm, Su 2pm. Through 11/22. $15-$20, includes dessert, coffee and tea; reservations required. Thistle Dew Dessert Theatre, 1901 P St.; (916) 444-8209; www.thistle-dew.net.
