A topsy turvy round in PianoFight’s battle of writers ShortLived culminated in a visit from SF Weekly critic Nathanial Eaton, some bitchin guitar solos courtesy of Joe Agrillo, and some surprising results:

1. 1)“Show Must Go On” - Dan Williams
   

2. 2)“Scrambled” - Brett Hursey
   

3. 3)“The Stand-In” - Brett Hursey
   

4. 4)“Death in an Elevator” - Geneva Lorraine Fiore
   

5. 5)“Maturity” - Ethan Kanfer
   

And in case you hadn’t heard, PianoFight decided that only dropping two scripts every round was for wimps, so starting with Round 3 we decided to start dropping 3 shorts per round, and our two lowest scoring for this round happened to be our two highest scoring from round 2:

6. 6)“Playground” - Jane Hadden
   

7. 7)“Clean Up on Aisle Love” - Sean Conroy
   

8. 8)“Kung Foolery” - Brett Hursey
   

So please join us for Round 4 and our THREE new scripts:

“Homeostasis” - Lauren D. Yee

“Road Trip” - SeanRay McNulty

“Twice As Bright” - Daniel Heath

And, as always ... brown bags encouraged.
