The most recent public version of Now Up-to-Date is 3.9.2. I can answer your
question for a more recent version, but I don't know whether my answers will
work for earlier versions.

This script will return a list of references to all events dated April 20,
2001.

tell application "Now Up-to-Date"
set eventsList to {}
tell calendar 1 of document 1
repeat with i from 1 to count every event
if startdate of event i is (date "4/20/01") then
set end of eventsList to event i
end if
end repeat
end tell
return eventsList
end tell

Repeating events in Now Up-to-Date are implemented as a list of "TimeBlock"
objects within the "Event" object. Most Events have only one TimeBlock, but
a repeating Event is one that has many TimeBlocks. The following script will
return a list of dates of all repetitions of a single event.

tell application "Now Up-to-Date"
set datesList to {}
tell event 1 of calendar 1 of document 1
repeat with i from 1 to count every timeblock
set end of datesList to startdate of timeblock i
end repeat
end tell
return datesList
end tell
