Meet the Virtuals — Dad, Mom, Son, Daughter, Grandma, plus a cat named Kitten and a kitten named Cat. Part Griswalds, part Jetsons, they’re just an ordinary family living in extraordinary times. A slew of technological advances, electronic home assistants, and computerized appliances, including Bobert the vacuum and FAB, the Fitness Assistant Bot, are meant to make life easier and bring the Virtuals together, but somehow they wind up more disconnected than before! Maybe technological advances aren’t all they’re cracked up to be?
Just watching Dad “interview” toothbrushes online leaves one to wonder if the Virtual family can survive the challenges of the real world. Good thing he has all his Dad jokes to guide him, even if nobody else finds them funny! This family already only communicates digitally, always in different rooms of their house (which makes this play ideal for a virtual production!).
But will a strange robot virus lead to self-imposed social distancing? Find out in this series of 13 sketches that can be presented as a wonderful 60-minute play full of humor and heart, or any number of scenes can be included or left out to create any running time your group needs. You might even consider doing one scene at a time over a number of days or weeks to create The Virtual Family series!
Download a complimentary copy of A How-To Guide for Virtual Theatre to help you make the most of your virtual production!
