Know Theatre, “Zack” | 8 p.m. Live streaming.

Inspired by the Saturday morning teen sitcoms of the early 90s, “Zack” is a clever satirical comedy, set in 1991, that takes on race and tokenism from the rose-colored P.O.V. of two teens of color enrolled in a mostly white Southern California high school.
