-Reviews-

" Vivian Allvin uses her dominatrix chops both as a Balkan peasant with neither a political agenda nor a sympathetic bone in her body and then as a blazer and pumps-wearing "adviser" to the President [...]: scary-good work." (Mary Lincer, Broadway World)


As the maid Dorine, Allvin is a hoot, talking back to her masters and delighting in the chaos around her." (Charles Green, DC Metro Arts)
 


“Vivian Allvin, as a preteen factory worker in Juarez who goes missing, plays the girl with a touching innocence” (Jane Horwitz, The Washington Post)

"Each character has an opportunity to shine.  Naturally, the character of the Spritely Baroness, played by Vivian Allvin, has the most opportunity to steal the show with her natural charisma and wit.  She effortlessly flounces around the play-area, interjecting quips or sounds as she leads the transitions from one “scene” into another". (Erin Tarpley, Theatrebloom)
 -
“The contrast between Allvin’s bright dreams of a fairy tale future and the reality of her forced labor and ultimate expulsion is heartbreaking. She brings an innocence and joy that drives home the moral outrage perpetrated against girls across the world.” (Michael Poandl, DC Metro Arts)
 -
“Vivian Allvin play the Valet with humor, an element not found in the original script. This was a chancy decision by both the director and actress. However, it worked well within the framework of the play. It served as a wonderful contrast to the horrors we will witness later. Ms. Allvin has a wonderful stage presence and stole some scenes.”(Susan Brall, DC Metro Arts)
 -
 
"Vivian Allvin does a great rendition of a Chicago gang leader’s girlfriend who is proud to wear the insignia sweater of the Latin Chancellors and take a walk with the guy who designed the crest" (Yvonne French, DC Metro Arts)”
