If this came time for you to complete the audition form, she was interested only in the role of Mary Warren, but she did not wish to put that around the form. She states, "It's funny because I believe Abigail may be the part that many women are attracted to, however i always just loved Mary Warren."Leslie Baldwin, coartistic director of Theatre Banshee, thought Vivian was the perfect Mary Warren. Based on Baldwin, the theater normally does not generate stars to see for callbacks when the company has the capacity to fill the role from inside. Baldwin states, "Going into this audition, I'd have wager that people might have filled [the role], but Vivian knocked it from the ballpark, as they say." The company people loved dealing with Kerr a lot that after the show was over, she was asked to become listed on.

She states director Sean Branney assisted a great deal by greatly having faith in the stars: "He permitted us to actually follow our instincts and gave us lots of room to test things. He did not impose he let's find many of the obstructing naturally. I really appreciate the truth that for the finish from the testing process when things were not always going the very best, he was very demanding. Like he wouldn't permit the play to become anything under it may be.InchThe effort compensated off. Baldwin states, "Vivian's capability to make large but psychologically filled options from the beginning was impressive. Her undertake Mary Warren showed a feeling of innocence, a feeling of self-righteousness, along with a condition of self-conflict in equal measure. We had shades of all this in early stages, including her character's capability to elicit pity and empathy despite her terrible unfaithfulness of truth and conscience. Ultimately, the emotional depth that Vivian could search demonstrated awe inspiringand is among the reasons, I imagine, she's nominated for that Ovation Award."
