On the list: You cannot be an arts lover in Charlottesville without running across the work of Darryl Smith. The always-smiling actor, singer, dancer, and box office manager with the patience of a saint, is a longtime fixture at Live Arts—and he’s missing! Where’s Darryl?: A Mystery on Water Street is a Halloween week challenge that plays out through an interactive online investigation around Smith’s disappearance. Conduct interviews with a cast of zany local characters, trace the clues, and see if you can out-sleuth the competition before the big, in-person reveal on October 30.
