A Child Left Behind at Beverly Hills Playhouse

a solo performance written and performed by Alan Aymie, directed by Paul Stein, produced by Gary Grossman and Les Williams. He fought hard to teach his students... He fought harder to teach his son....Why Alan wrote A Child Left Behind: Alan talked to us ..."I wrote this show because I wanted to support teachers - I wanted to be heard as a teacher and I thought the Theater was a better forum than the picket lines. I still remember my great teachers - they taught me to play chess, read books in scary voices and showed me pictures of their summer trips to Spain and I never once knew I was learning. This show - hopefully - acknowledges them, the challenges facing teachers today and sheds some light on Asperger's Syndrome and the unique difficulties and gifts Aspies children possess. A supporter of my show recently contacted me to say, "Thanks" - her child has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome and she said that she felt completely alone and could tell no one. Learning about my show has helped her realize she is not - if my show can do this for other people, I have succeeded.
