Plus, COVID-19 has been found in four dorms at the University of Virginia. If that’s not enough news for one week, Charlottesville is also getting a new city manager. Stick around for our final segment, where we sit down with the folks at Live Arts to talk about their upcoming entirely virtual season of community theater.
