the Inge Theater on Friday, May 24,
and Saturday, May 25, at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets start at $5. The troupe's performance will feature their original theatre work "Nightmares: a demonstration of the Sublime." According to the Burian Theatre's website, "The piece situates itself between terror and comedy (the sublime), beneath the gaze of Henry Fusell's iconic painting, and in the midst of an enveloping soundscape to plumb the extremities of our contemporary condition and posit the question: are we still capable of being overwhelmed?"
On Saturday, June 22, at the Lied Center, Joseph Hall will perform as Elvis Presley in a concert raising funds to help end Polio. The concert wraps up a weekend of events aimed to raise money to eradicate Polio worldwide. Elvis takes the stage at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $31 for adults, and $16 for students and youth.
THE COLOR RUN:
The event that is coloring the nation is returning to Lawrence on Saturday, September 14, but you don't have to wait that long to participate in what The Color Run calls the "best, biggest and happiest sk." The Color Run is coming to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on June 1 and June 2. The Color Run website says the amount of people who signed up for the June 1 date was so overwhelming that they had to add a second date. June 1 is currently sold out, but spots
are still available online for June 2. Individual entries cost $50 and team entries cost $45. There are currently more than 1,600 people "attending" on the Color Run's Kansas City event page, so sign up as soon as possible if you want a spot.

Investigation of Ottawa deaths continues

OTTAWA — Authorities on Tuesday were investigating the deaths of three people whose bodies were found on a rural property in eastern Kansas, a day after friends of the residents called police to report a foul smell at the site.

Meanwhile, investigators in a nearby county were waiting to see if one of the bodies is a suburban Kansas City mother who has been missing with her 18-month-old baby since last week.
A Franklin County Sheriff's deputy talks on a cell phone Monday outside a farm where three bodies were found near Ottawa. Authorities found the bodies after friends of the residents reported smelling something fouled from the site.
The bodies of two adult men and one woman were found Monday on the farm west of Ottawa, which is located about 60 miles southwest of Kansas City, Sheriff Jeff Richards said at a news conference.
"We have three homicides on a very large scene." Richards said.
Richards declined to release other details, including the victims' identities or how they were killed.
Kortni McGill, of Ottawa, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that she, Corey Schl扎厚z, 26 and Shona Osladil, 21, went to the home Monday afternoon and saw in the garage a dead body covered in a tarp and weighted down with a cinder block.
"I reached down and saw teeth through the square in the cinder block. I said, 'Corey, there's a body here,' McGill said.
McGill said she and Schlotzhauer first went to the property Sunday to check on a friend who had not been heard from since April 25. When they got there they smelled a foul odor coming from the south side of the home and called police.
McGill said sheriff's deputies went into the home and came out 10 to 15 minutes later, saying they didn't find anything and the smell was probably trash. She said the deputies then peered inside a large garage on the opposite side of the house, where there also was a strong, foul smell, but dismissed it as garbage and left.
McGill and Schlotzhauer returned to the home Monday with Osladil to feed the resident's dog and investigate the strong smells again.
Osladil said the three looked around the garage for no more than 10 minutes when they found the tarp under what appeared to be a pile of junk that had apparently been put there on purpose.
McGill said the body appeared to have decayed and that they saw a bag of baby clothes on top of the tarp. They called 911 again.
Just outside the garage entrance, McGill said, she saw a burn barrel that had baby clothes, a baby bottle and a girl's sleeping bag. She said she also saw a pair of baby's socks on the ground that appeared clean despite rainy conditions in recent days.
Olathe Police Sgt. Brad Caldwell said Tuesday that Kaylie Bailey, 21, and her 1½-year-old daughter, Lana Bailey, were last seen Wednesday and were reported missing Friday.
McGill and Osladil — who had known Bailey her whole life — said Bailey had a relationship with a man who lived in the home and had planned to drop her baby off there Wednesday.
More than 40 detectives from various agencies were helping with the investigation. Olathe police are part of that group because of the open missing person case, Caldwell said.
Olathe police had provided the Franklin County Sheriff's Department with an address to check Friday, but Caldwell declined to say whether it was the same address where the bodies of an adult woman and two adult men were found Monday.
"I'm very frustrated," she said. "Without us going out there how long would it have been before they found that body?"
The missing baby doesn't meet the criteria for an Amber Alert, Caldwell said, but didn't go into details.
Richards also acknowledged Tuesday that deputies had been to the scene Sunday and found nothing. He said when officers responded Monday, they got a search warrant and found the other bodies.
Oladil said she was upset with the way authorities handled the matter.

Holmes to pursue insanity defense
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — The man accused in the deadly Colorado theater shootings wants to change his plea not to guilty by reason of insanity, his lawyers said Tuesday.
Holmes was insane, a jury could still find him guilty.
Attorneys for James Holmes said in a court filing they plan to formally ask for the change of plea at a May 13 hearing.
The insanity plea was widely expected given the compelling evidence against Holmes. He is charged with multiple counts of murder and attempted murder. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
A judge in the case previously entered a standard not guilty plea for the 25-year-old Holmes. If the judge accepts the new plea, Holmes would be sent to the state mental hospital, where doctors would determine whether he was insane at the time of the July 20 shootings.
If the doctors do determine that
Holmes' attorneys have said in court hearings and written in court documents that Holmes is mentally ill. He was being seen by a psychiatrist before the July 20 attack at a midnight screening of the latest Batman movie that killed 12 people and injured 70.
Holmes could be executed if he's convicted of more than 160 counts of murder and attempted murder.
