    A snappy dialogue between writers that isn't afraid to get risque. Perfect for a night of one acts about love and dating.

    Va-Va-Vicarious is a surprising, charming, and hilarious comedy from Kim Ruyle. I loved seeing actors at the 2025 Midwest Dramatists Conference bring this play to life, and I know audiences all over will love it too. Excellent!

    There is something about Kim Ruyle's dialogues that is so natural and glorious! This 2 hander in an airport lounge brings some incredible characters together in an adult meet/cute that tells a story that is rare and wonderful.
