“SHATNER’S WORLD: WE JUST LIVE IN IT …”\nHe’s been a starship captain, a hard-boiled cop and high-powered attorney.

Through anecdotes, jokes and songs, the 80-year-old renaissance man traces his career, starting with his beginnings as a classically trained Shakespearean actor. Sat. 8 p.m. $40-$105. Pantages Theatre, 6233 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles. (323) 468-1770. shatnersworld.com.
