SWEET
The script balances social and personal commentary successfully, and Aymie’s energetic charm allows us easy access to his outrage.
Amy Lyons – LA Weekly
SWEET
“Excellence” is the one word I would use to describe Alan Aymie’s highly energetic and dynamic one-man show.
Audrey Linden – LA Examiner
SWEET
This is a play that should be seen by all teachers, by anyone who has a child in the Los Angeles Unified School District, anyone who is concerned about education and those whose taxes support out schools. Have I left anybody out?
Ingrid Wilmot – Will Call
SWEET
“A Child Left Behind” written and performed by Alan Aymie at the Katselas Theatre Company, is one teachers response to his “below average” rating and a truly touching and thought provoking evening of entertainment.
Kat Michels – Culver City News
SWEET
As a parent and a teacher, Alan Aymie’s one-man show is heartfelt, informative and moving.
M.R. Hunter – EyeSpyLA
SWEET
The show runs a little bit longer and if you get a chance to see it, it’s worth it.
Phillip Kelly – MadTheatrics
SWEET
Directed by Paul Stein and presented by the Katselas Theatre Company, Aymie performs in this semi-autobiographical production at the Beverly Hills Playhouse with skill, energy, pathos, and talent, keeping his audience captivated throughout.
Carol Kaufman Segal – Stagehappenings
SWEET
Directed by Paul Stein for the Katselas Theatre Company, Aymie’s heartfelt solo performance draws on his teaching experience in some of the Los Angeles Unified School District’s poorest-performing elementary schools, and skillfully interleaves it with the learning challenges faced by his son diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome.
Philip Brandes – LA Times
SWEET
While it is instructive, it is also a heartfelt piece that is well written, well acted and well worth your time. Tell all the teachers, students and parents you know to go see it.
