Playbill Virtual Theatre Fest Takes Our "12 Shows in 12 Words" Challenge
We asked the 12 playwrights featured in this year's Playbill Virtual Theatre Festival to describe their new shows — in just 12 words!
Roses. Donuts. Strikes in a perfect game of bowling.

Great things always come in dozens — just like this weekend's Playbill Virtual Theatre Festival, a new online short play showcase featuring 12 fully produced works that you can stream live from home.

So what can you expect from the Playbill VTF's 12 original short works? To find out, we thought we'd have a little fun with the playwrights, so we challenged them to tease their shows for us in just 12 words or fewer. Here's what they came up with:

"If the coronavirus were a nightclub singer, this would be her act." — Oliviana Marie
2.  Current Resident
