-Reviews-

“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)”


Vivian Allvin


Vivian Yara Allvin was born in Brazil to a Brazilian mother and American father, and grew up mostly in Italy where 
she started performing in street theatre as a teenager (Festival di Teatro di Strada di Certaldo). In the early 2000's she moved to the Washington D.C.  area,
where she has performed at NextStop Theatre, GALA Theatre and the Kennedy Center, among other venues, alongside film, commercial and voice over work.  Offstage, she tries to keep up with her marvelous daughter and better half, dabbling on and off in the intricacies of Argentinian tango. Other endeavors include translating and teaching- particularly 'Improv and Shakespeare' - a children's class  devised based on experience as an Improv teacher and inspiration from Ken Ludwig's book 'How to Teach Your Children Shakespeare'.
