<p>Last year, PianoFight, in association with Combined Artform, produced a short play competition titled “ShortLived.” The contest ran for three months, with playwrights from all over the Bay Area submitting their work to be performed by PianoFight, and subsequently scored by audience members. The winner of the competition, Daniel Heath, was awarded the opportunity to pen a full-length piece to be produced by PianoFight for a month-long run in the theater the company manages, Studio 250. Heath delivered a whopper, titled “FORKING!” which premiered to sold out houses in the month of January and made its Los Angeles debut in February at Combined Artform's Theatre Asylum.</p>
<p>PianoFight's "ShortLived" will return again this year for the same 3 month run, from April 3 - June 27, but with some significant changes to the format.</p>
<p>"ShortLived 2.0" will feature not only playwrights competing for the top prize, but any local theater group with the balls to have their work judged side by side with other short plays.</p>
