Theatre: A Child Left Behind

Education is the key to our nation's future, and the current system has some serious downfalls. After being laid off for a second time from his teaching job at a low-performing LA school, Alan Aymie composed A Child Left Behind, a compelling narrative show in which he takes aim at the LAUSD and their administrative policies. Using his natural energy and sincerity, he effectively communicates his own personal struggles as well as those of teachers forced to focus less on educating poverty-stricken students and more on passing standardized tests, with shrinking budgets and lagging support. Come see it, get informed and maybe even get motivated. This is the show's final weekend.
