‘Catechism’ among weekend fun

It’s OK to laugh in catechism class, at least when it’s “Late Nite Catechism,” an interactive theater piece in which a nun teaches a class where the audience members are her students. A performance of the show at 7 p.m. Sunday at Free State High School will help raise money for Lawrence Catholic Community Services. Other weekend entertainment options include:
