To-do list
Trick-or-treating times set for city, downtown
Be on the lookout for goblins and ghouls on Sunday. Lawrence City Commissioners have designated the hours between 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. as the time for Lawrence youths to go trick-or-treating in the city.
Commissioners are asking youths to go only to homes that have their porch lights on, to use the sidewalks when venturing between houses, and to wear clothes or costumes that are bright in color and nonflammable.
Area children also will have a chance to get their trick-or-treating started early. Dozens of downtown businesses are expected to have special Sunday hours from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. as part of Downtown Lawrence Inc.’s annual Downtown Lawrence Trick-or-Treat event.

Tony-award winner coming to Lied Center stage
Snapping fingers. Cocky struts. Tilted bowler hats. Shoulder rolls. Swiveling hips.
These are the signatures of a Bob Fosse dance. A touring show that plays at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Lied Center highlights some of the legendary choreographer’s most enduring creations — as well as rarely seen dances, musical numbers from Fosse’s earliest works and several pieces that had never before been seen on stage.
“Fosse,” which snagged the Tony Award for Best Musical in 1999, features 20 dancers.
A limited number of tickets remain for the show and range in price from $19.50 to $44. They can be purchased by calling 864-2787.
