Alan Aymie
"Compelling... Aymie proves first rate..." - LA TIMES

Hi, welcome..!
Quick fact: Growing up in Boston, I didn't see my first play until after college... I stumbled upon a production of August Wilson's Fences during a business trip to Virginia, and, so, uh, yeah... quit my job, enrolled in acting school, and made my professional stage debut in DC, (Shakespeare's As You Like It) about a year later. While working on the East Coast, I was seen on stage, screen, and film in Baltimore, DC, & New York before I came to LA to study with Sanford Meisner...
In LA, I started writing and I've been fortunate enough to have been produced across the country. To this day, I can honestly state that I'm the only actor ever to perform his work at the HBO Workspace, Comedy Central Stage, PSNBC, Aspen Comedy Festival and HBO Screening Room.
I'm also committed to supporting autism advocacy, and my play, A Child Left Behind, which is based on my experiences as a public school teacher and parent of a child on the spectrum, has been seen at theaters, colleges, and educational institutions across the country.
Living in LA, with my amazing wife and three wonderful children keep me busy and if you follow me on Instagram, you will see my efforts in learning to play the Ukulele every Monday.

"Excellence" is the one word I would use to describe Alan Aymie's highly energetic and dynamic one-man show.
- WILLCALL
Aymie's show crackles with energy and tension. He paints a thrilling, exhausting and emotionally moving portrait of the modern school teacher.
- MAD THEATRICS
Playwright Alan Aymie takes swipes at gangster rap, the music industry, and consumer culture in this boldly refreshing one-act play. Aymie's RAP has much to recommend it!

Alan Aymie
ON STAGE
"What' remarkable about writer-performer Alan Aymie's one man show is the super-abundant energy, tight-scripting, and furious pace of the narrative - so fast, the audience can barely keep as Aymie morphs into a disparate cast of characters. With his spitfire delivery, the indefatigable performer never misses a beat..."
