DESCRIPTION:San Francisco History in Three One-Act Plays \nBy David Giesen \n Enjoy an 
 evening of historical fiction theater taking up the stories of two 
 significant San Franciscans who shaped the city we love with policies that 
 haunt us still. \n\nIn "Henry Meiggs Wanted to Die for His Sins," local 
 playwright David Giesen treats the provocative history of Henry Meiggs, 
 entrepreneur and land developer, who came to San Francisco in 1849, 
 established a successful lumber company serving the pioneer boom town, but 
 who also engaged in real estate shenanigans in North Beach that anticipated 
 the high rent struggles of today. But there’s a twist, Meiggs tried to 
 undo part of the wrong he did. Was he a good man? A bad man? Or just like 
 you and me?\n\nIn "Dogs and Coyotes, Baseballs and Rabbits," Giesen 
 recovers a slice of life in 1914 San Francisco emblematic of every working 
 class family’s experience. Drawing from the public record, this story 
 portrays from teenagers’ perspectives the self-serving power-wanking of 
 long-time San Francisco Mayor “Sunny” Jim Rolph as he displaced a 
 working class family in Bernal Heights . . . with an unexpected sweet and 
 sour ending.\n The evening concludes with a short comic romp taking up very 
 recent history . . . indeed still living history in the making . . . as 
 King Kong comes to San Francisco to defend working families from home 
 mortgage foreclosure.\n Contact: Ack-Act Theater,
