WTJU 91.1 FM and UVA Drama present “She Wrote Plays” – new takes on works from a century ago by forgotten women playwrights. Charlottesville-based playwrights, tech producers, and actors have taken these old scripts and adapted them into modern radio dramas.

Cville Puzzle Hunt is back! Organized by WTJU 91.1 FM and Puzzled Bee, it’s a citywide cerebral puzzle for teens and adults of all ages. It works like an escape room, but all of downtown Charlottesville is the "room." This year’s event takes place Saturday, March 16, 2:30 - 6 p.m. It starts and ends at IX Art Park, with puzzles to solve at various downtown locations. Modeled on the Post Hunt in DC (back when the Washington Post used to do fun things), the Cville Puzzle Hunt takes participants on a wild afternoon running around trying to untangle five diabolical, large-scale puzzles inserted into the urban landscape.
