Audiences best know Dan Fagan from his acting—in Of Kites and Kings at Sacramento Theatre Company and Macbeth at Capital Stage, among others. He had the title role in A Tiger Without Mercy about boxer Jack Dempsey, which he also wrote. EMH Productions gives Fagan’s second play, These Lonesome Roads, its world premiere Friday. It’s about the life of a roughneck oil field worker, a job with which Fagan says he has personal knowledge. 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday; $15. Ooley Theatre, 2007 28th Street; (916) 214-6255; http://emhpros.weebly.com.
