July 24

* Cast off for literary adventure when actor Jeffrey Paul Whitman presents “Two Years Before the Mast,” a one-man show based on Richard Henry Dana’s tale of his years “before the mast,” working on the crew of a tall ship traveling from Boston to the California coast in 1834. The performance is held on the deck of the Pilgrim, a full-sized replica of Dana’s ship, moored adjacent to the Orange County Marine Institute at 24200 Dana Point Harbor Drive, Dana Point.

* “Once Upon a Midnight” isn’t kiddie fare, but it should send a delightful chill up the spines of older children and adults. The one-man show by actor John Astin (remember Gomez Addams, patriarch of television’s “The Addams Family”?) paints a vivid and sometimes unsettling portrait of author Edgar Allan Poe’s life and works. At 8 p.m. in the Pearson Park amphitheater (Lemon and Sycamore streets, Anaheim). $5 at the door. (714) 765-5274.
