In "The Boy Downstairs," a conflicted millennial revisits a failed romance, at 8:15 p.m. Saturday.
- Explore African art when the Savannah African Art Museum reopens on Friday. The collection includes more than 1,000 objects from West and Central Africa, including a range of ceremonial pieces from the 19th and 20th centuries. Open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays; free.
- Run a little or a lot at the Critz Tybee Run Fest. The two-day event includes five runs, totaling a full marathon if you run them all. It kicks off with a 5K at 6:15 p.m. Friday, followed by a 10K at 7 a.m. Saturday; full schedule, pricing and registration here.
- Eat some tasty, spicy chili at Savannah Harley-Davidson's annual chili cook-off. Cooks will compete for first, second and third place, as well as prizes for showmanship and people's choice, from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday.
