    As the daughter of an old railroad man, I appreciate this playlet. I also loved the storytelling and Sickle's capacity to develop credible, wonderful and distinctive characters in the space of 60 seconds!

  • Vivian Lermond: Five Frickin Winters by Kim E. Ruyle
    “

    Get onboard the rollercoaster and ready yourself for one helluva ride with non-stop twists and turns! Ruyle gives us a full evening of well-plotted, high-tension conflict, fueled by four distinct character voices. A sharp, witty script ... a beautifully faceted gemstone that explores multiple layers of the human experience!

    A cute short play that captures the essence of reminiscence and makes old memories new again. A wonderful piece for two senior actors!

    A powerful piece of writing with sharp edges that holds your fascination and delivers a most unexpected outcome! A gripping, real work that looks at the generational impact of child abuse.

  • Vivian Lermond: The Pity Mourner (Ten Minute) by Paul Donnelly
    “

    Dialogue drives this story ... Donnelly's choice of short, staccato lines amplifies the awkwardness of the scenario and does it so well. A lovely little play that found this reader rooting for Archie and Margaret and well-pleased with a most hopeful resolution that signals positive possibilities.

  • Vivian Lermond: Textbook Messages by Ross Tedford Kendall
    “

    Fast-paced, funny, and true-to-life! As a former college prof and private tutor, TEXTBOOK MESSAGES is particularly relevant to me. What a gem of a 10-minute play, perfect for productions in college venues!

  • Vivian Lermond: AFTER (10-minutes) by Glenn Alterman
    “

    Poignant, powerful and honest! AFTER gives us a sense of the need for connectivity to the memories of moments that made us feel alive and loved. A unique plot, naturalistic dialogue and believable characters makes this play a standout!
