Virtual Family

Virtual Family

by Christian Kiley

Who needs to go outside when you've got a screen to show you what outside should look like? Who needs to do chores when laundry can be folded at the push of a button? And who needs a real family, anyway? Isn't it better to talk through text messages and receive preprogrammed communications from your parents? Sure it is.

Live safe and sound in the Virtual Family, a soothing world where complete dependence on technology is the name of the game. When technology takes away all your ills, conflicts, and concerns, you become a happier human being. Right?

Virtual Family has three endings to choose from.

Praise for Virtual Family

Brittany Copeland
Fr. Tolton Catholic High School
We had a good time with this play and combined it with another futuristic one-act for a night of "spooky" dystopian plays. Set, props, and costumes are very simple, and the message is clear.
Kelly McCabe
Barrington Enrichment Summer Theatre
The 3 possible endings was exciting, and allowed for interesting discussion when deciding what we wanted the final tone to ultimately be.
