clarence darrow play

i saw a play about clarence darrow, the lawyer, earlier today. it was called 'naked darrow'. it was a one-man play, 2 if you count the man playing the bassoon every so often. i liked how it covered most every trial he is famous for, such as the jury tampering in california, dr. ossian sweet, leopold and loeb, and the scopes monkey trial. i was afraid of being late due to doing too much errand running before getting there, such as taking out trash, getting baseball tickets, dropping off a goodwill donation, and getting lunch. but i made it with a few minutes to spare, which is nice. saw how this theater, park square in st. paul, will have another play that interests me next season, about george gershwin, the musician, in december. there usually is at least one play a year that interests me. a funny story, to some anyway, how i first found out about it. i was waiting for a date back in 2007 and she stood me up. it was in a walkway where there's a farmer's market in the summer, and the theater was nearby. she accused me of getting the date wrong, but i didn't. i don't think it would have worked anyway, since she was way too political. the first play i saw was 'of mice and men'.
  i did do more cleanup, liked finding more things of course. it really does help to look through every box and bag there is to know what one has.
