PICK: Thirty-Seven

Staying active: As a part of the Charlottesville Player’s Guild’s Amplify season, Leslie M. Scott-Jones’ play Thirty-Seven explores living, surviving, and fighting while being Black in America. Jamahl Garrison-Lowe plays Seth, a young Black man struggling with the decision to become an activist, and he asks himself: What will I risk? What will I gain? What does it mean for me as an individual and a part of society? The virtual production is a deep dive into what it means to fight back.

Through 3/28, $20, 7:30pm. Jefferson School African American Heritage Center, 233 Fourth St., NW. jeffschoolheritagecenter.org.
