  • Vivian Lermond: "Eight Aunt Marys" by Andrew Martineau
    “

    A wonderful, several layers deep monologue for an older actor! Martineau succinctly weaves the theme of confession with flashback memories that make this dying character so alive. Believable storytelling!

  • Vivian Lermond: Waiting for the Day by Bill Savage
    “

    Savage deftly captures the atmosphere of a bygone era that speaks to the theme that history repeats itself. A different pandemic, a different war, but the writer gives us a real sense of loss and grief that is timeless. But through the lens of the central characters, we are gifted with the hope that someday, the world will find a way to heal and become a better place. A thoughtful, poignant play!

    A clever, fun and quirky "ghost" story that captures the voices of two 80's sisters returning to their old world of human time and having a chance to make a difference. Loved Jennifer's opening monologue and the "real life" sibling quibbling! Thanks for taking us on such a fun adventure!

  • Vivian Lermond: Come Find Me by Christine Foster
    “

    Memories can be manipulated, and COME FIND ME proves that through the twists and turns of the story line, fast-faced dynamic dialogue, lots of subtext for actors, and non-stop conflict. One gem of a one-act!

    How GEN Z copes. A charming tale of finding resilience and coping with losing everything, but discovering that love can prevail and deliver the quintessential gift of hope against all odds. Produce!

    Ah ... the super mom, creator of clashes and conflict. SHINY AS A BUTTON gives a sharp contract to the innocence of children versus the competitiveness of insecure mothers. Tasty!

  • Vivian Lermond: The Devils' Spawn by D. Lee Miller
    “

    I was fortunate to hear this performed on the radio. Miller not only wrote a wonderfully nuanced, well-structured monologue, but she delivered it on air and her acting chops served her well. THE DEVIL'S SPAWN deserves a slot in any monologue festival. Vibrant, alive and very real!

    D. Lee Miller know the meaning of "write tight". She proves it in this 5 minute, fast-paced action and conflict packed coming-of-age tale that fully captures teenage angst. A perfect treat for any short play festival!
