  • Vivian Lermond: Étude (Ten Minute Play) by Marcia Eppich-Harris
    “

    A wonderful little two-hander rich with subtext that captures the essence of internal conflict. ETUDE delivers a well-paced story through believable characters and snappy dialogue. A lovely scene study piece for actors, as well as a solid choice for a shorts festival production!

    Levine takes the "it was a dark and stormy night" theme and delivers a fun, clever romp! A satisfying little play, just perfect for Zoom!

  • Vivian Lermond: The Perils of Paul a one minute play by D. Lee Miller

    What a fun, fast-paced one-pager! Miller uses the "ticking clock" technique so well here and takes us to the wire, before a well-played twist of a resolution! I would love to see this in live performance!

    Sharp, powerful, honest writing that thrusts us into the scene and holds us there! Wyndham paints a picture with words, and he does it so well! A wonderful performance piece!

  • Vivian Lermond: ALTAR BOY: A MONOLOGUE FOR A SENIOR ACTOR by Asher Wyndham
    “

    Being raised in the Catholic Church, this monologue is particularly relevant for me. Wyndham weaves two storylines together so well - the state of the church serving as a reflective pool for the state of humanity. A wonderful role for a senior actor!

  • Vivian Lermond: ALEXIS: A MOTEL MONOLOGUE WITH CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST by Asher Wyndham
    “

    From a master storyteller comes a masterful atmospheric monologue. Wyndham fully captures the stark realism of the impact of Covid through setting and his carefully crafted character, Alexis. I particularly enjoyed the slow build of the character arc to a most gratifying conclusion.

  • Vivian Lermond: The Parking Lot by Peter Anthony Fields
    “

    Three scenarios with a beautiful bridge that connects the story line through a rollercoaster ride that runs a shared gamut of secrets, fears and human emotions. Fast-paced tension that delivers! Produce!

    What a perfect metaphor on life! We all have that one option to sink or swim, and Syran captures that premise beautifully in this lovely atmospheric monologue. A wonderful performance piece!

    As a retired professor, this monologue hits home. Williams captures all the right words to convey his character's passion for the written word! A powerful, honest piece of writing!

  • Vivian Lermond: you shit, you shave, you sleep (a One-Minuted play) by Lee R. Lawing

    It's tough to create powerful tension in a one minute play, but Lawing gets the job done! It's no wonder Lee landed himself a berth in the Leeds Gi60 Festival! Bravo!
