“
A contemplative seasonal welcoming in a new way. Lermond recognizes a part of renewal we don't always think of turns it into a part of life for all of us. Nicely done. ”

- ICE IS NICE by9 Oct. 2021“ I even lover the logline in Vivian Lermond's latest, ICE IS NICE. The characters, dialogue and the story are just wonderfully powerpacked into a one minute burst of good cheer! ”
- HAPPY NEW YEAR (from the CRACKED UP CHRISTMAS COLLECTION) by19 Sep. 2021“ Change in family is often very hard. Although Lermond sets up a possibly hellish situation - her characters rise to the occasion and change in new ways. Here's to a lovely holiday play! ”
- Return to Elysium by19 Sep. 2021“ Dave Patton is a natural storyteller. It is our luck that this story centers on the world of Elysium, because he paints a portrait so real that we think we'd lived it ourselves -- or certainly wish we had. Beautiful poetry. ”
- Chivalry Is by1 Sep. 2021“ Did you ever wonder what was going on while you were sizing up a bar's clientele? In CHIVALRY, Glen Dickson introduces us to Simon - who's got a little story to tell. In fact, he nails the battle of the sexes in this dead-on monologue. Wonderful writing. Would love to see it done! ”
- Stalking Ted by1 Sep. 2021“ Oooo. I didn't see that coming. STALKING TED by Glen Dickson shows us a woman betrayed - or is she? How scary to be walking down a road that turns into a different neighborhood altogether. That is what this monologue does. I'd like to see/hear more. Well done, Dickson. A great stand-alone monologue in any festival. ”
- The Overnight Bag by1 Sep. 2021“ THE OVERNIGHT BAG by Glen Dickson, is packed chockful with verbal retaliation over what else? A marriage gone wrong. My favorite (you're sure to have your own) is he's 'like mutton dressed as beef jerkey'! As always, Dickson does it just right. Sure to bring the house down! ”
- We Are Cranston by21 Aug. 2021“ Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend is a playwright to be reckoned with. There's comedy in WE ARE CRANSTON and there is drama. There are well-drawn characters and pitch-perfect dialogue - and there is commentary, too -- on what our culture has chosen to value in competitive sports. I look forward to reading more of her work! ”
- CROWLEY'S CORNER (from the AN IRISH HEART COLLECTION) by20 Aug. 2021“ Is it because it's a Friday and I was happy to enter Grace O'Malley's Public House? Maybe. More likely, it's Vivian Lermond's Irish fare of musical-like anecdotes! For a bit of the blarney and the shanachie, come sit by Crowley's Corner. Have a drink or not, but definitely imbibe the Irish atmosphere, the characters and join in smiling ear to ear. You'll be jealous of Conklin and wish you were the American in this tale. Slainte! ”
- The B Is For Bullsh!t by8 Aug. 2021“ Nothing is absolute and nothing ever was. John Mabey inspects the world of sexual labels that may have helped liberate and define us but are now traps of our own making. Have the times changed or have people changed? With loving and searching characters, relationships with insightful and delicious dialogue, B IS FOR BULLSH!T is a celebration of this mess we have created all in the name of good! ”
