GET READY FOR THE BEAKEND
BY CARLY HALVORSON
If you want to spend a quiet night at the theater or a rowdy night watching women knock each other down, this weekend has the perfect event for you.
'Keely & Du'
Jane Martin's "Keely & Du" is a
thought provoking play about abortion. Keely is a young woman who becomes pregnant after being raped. Her plan to get an abortion is thwarted by Walter and Du, two members of an anti-abortion group, who kidnap her and lock her in the basement. While this sounds cruel, Walter and Du take exceptional care of Keely and help her find a loving family for
her baby. Tickets cost $10 to $12. The play will take place 7:30 p.m. Friday, 5 p.m. Saturday and 2:30 p.m Sunday. All performances take place at the William Inge Memorial Theater in Murphy Hall.
Down'n Derby
Picture 75 women on roller skates. Some of them are dressed like Dorothy from the "The Wizard of Oz," while some of them look like schoolyard bullets. All of them have lots of pent-up aggression and want to take it out on other people. This is roller derby, courtesy of the Kansas City Roller Warriors. Downin Derby is the first bout of the 2007 Roller Warriors season. It will take place in Hale Arena.
1701 American Royal Court, at 7 p.m.
Saturday, Tickets are $13 for adults in advance, $16 at the door. Spectators of all ages are welcome.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — Officers who pulled a man over for running a red light found a plush Easter bunny stuffed with marijuana in the car, police say.
The man had trouble finding his insurance documents Wednesday and asked to look for them in the back seat, police said.
When he stepped out of the car, the officer smelled marijuana and saw some on the floor, police said. The officer searched the car, found two baggies of marijuna in the glove box and saw the bunny. Inside the stuffed animal, which was holding an Easter basket, they found 16 small plastic bags of pot, police said.
