  • Vivian Lermond: The Case of the Trampled Grandmother by Peter Dakutis

    Mixing old time detective noir with a classic Christmas tale is pure genius, and Dakutis delivers! A well-plotted story, fast-paced fun, and cleverly devised characters make this a must for any holiday shorts festival! Just loved it!

  • Vivian Lermond: 2 short 2 min. monologues: EXPANDING FRACTIONS/LETTING GO by D. Lee Miller
    “

    Miller packs a wallop in these 2 very different short monologues, capturing the essence of her characters and the very real world of our current times. EXPANDING FRACTIONS is a wonderfully woven statement on the topic of inequality. LETTING GO is a treatise on the Covid isolation and the need we all have felt for real human connection. Both works resonate, and make for great audition monologues.

    He stole Christmas. He stole her heart. But now, Ms. Grinch is sick of her green furry man's December shenanigans! Whoville? Nah! This is a holiday monologue made in heaven!

    What a hilarious romp through a newbie actor's audition and a wonderful audition piece that could show an actor's talent for doing dialects. I really enjoyed the read!

  • Vivian Lermond: TEACHER MCCLELLAND: AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER MONOLOGUE by Asher Wyndham
    “

    A wonderful, relatable, visual piece by a Master Monologist! Asher Wyndham gives us a strong character who takes us through more than a shopping spree that wets our taste buds for a latte concoction! He gives us a well-woven backstory that speaks to the challenges faced by every elementary school teacher today. Excellent!
