This weekend Jayhawks of all ages will come to Lawrence for homecoming. The Homecoming Day activities should keep students, alumni and fans busy Saturday. But a day full of activities should not stop students from enjoying their Friday and Saturday nights.
Harry Potter Showing
What better way to start off a magical homecoming weekend than by watching SUA’s presentation of “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.” According to the movie’s Web site, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), returns to Hogwarts for his fifth year. With the help of his friends Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint), Harry teaches a secret group of students who call themselves Dumbledore’s Army They learn how to protect themselves from the Dark Arts. “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” is the fifth movie in the Warner Brothers Harry Potter series. The movie will be shown at 8 p.m. in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Charlie Brown Play
For all those who loved the classic comic “Peanuts” but always wondered what would happen if good-old Charlie Brown ever reached puberty, the answer has arrived in the play “Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead.” Show opens at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 2, at XS Lighting Sound and Visualization, 1632 Broadway St., Kansas City, Mo. In the play, Charlie Brown and the gang have grown up and now face the pains of high school, hormones and other assorted trials, from the death of his beloved beagle to the headache of dealing with Charlie’s identity-torn, drama-queen sister Sally. Although the play is open to all ages, it contains explicit language, drug use, violence and other adult content. Tickets cost $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors.

R&B Show
After a jam-packed Saturday of homecoming activities and the Nebraska game, listening to a riveting soul/R&B performance at Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St., might be just the thing to cool down. Kelly Hunt performs at 8 p.m. in the Lawrence Arts Center. Hunt, a veteran of more than 1,500 live performances, will be crooning solo to the accompaniment of Nashville’s Mitch Reilly, who plays tenor sax, acoustic and electric guitars, flute and the pennywhistle.
