Weekend Roundup! 4/19-4/21

Finally, the weekend is here! Time to kick back and relax, go on an adventure, or just enjoy the (hopefully) nice weather. If you need some ideas on what to do this weekend, here's what's happening:

FRIDAY, APRIL 19

The Pirates of Penzance, Jr.
April 19 - April 21
Looking for some lighthearted laughs this weekend? Check out the Bend Experimental Art Theatre’s production of The Pirates of Penzance, Jr. A clever and entertaining remake of the 1879 original by Gilbert and Sullivan, Pirates spins a hilarious farce of sentimental pirates, bumbling policemen, dim-witted young lovers, dewy-eyed daughters and an eccentric Major-General, all morally bound to the often-ridiculous dictates of honor and duty.
Tickets cost $15 for adults; $10 for students. For information on show times or to purchase tickets, go to BEAT.
