REVIEWS
CHICAGO TRIBUNE - The Cryptogram
"The Profiles Theatre production of "The Cryptogram" features a really great performance from Aaron Lamm, a seventh-grader at Wilmette Junior High School. People tend not to believe critics when they say that a kid was really great in a show. "Oh, he's just being nice to the kid," they intuit. It's good to be nice to kids, especially those who show a commitment to the arts. But young Mr. Lamm really is excellent, which is to say that he spits out that famous Mametian dialogue, listens intently when not speaking, lives thoroughly in the moment and, it seems, feels. He also is resolutely unsentimental, which is a very good thing. The last place you want a tear-jerking youth is in a drama by David Mamet." - CHRIS JONES, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
CHICAGO CRITIC - Beast On The Moon
"Lamm, who appears only in the second act, is a remarkable child actor. A refugee from a nightmarish orphanage, Vincent has moments of terror to rival Seta and Aram’s. However, he is generally a peppy smooth-talker, and has a strong sense of pride and moral duty. Lamm is magnetic through it all, and perfectly carries his role as the older characters’ chance for redemption. His chemistry with both Sophia Menendian and Browning is adorable." - TOM WILLIAMS, CHICAGO CRITIC
CHICAGO CRITIC - To Kill A Mockingbird
"I hurt for the children as they watched the proceedings in the court room. Grey, Klein, and Lamm perfectly conveyed their characters’ hopes and disappointments, as well as their boisterous sense of wonder at the town’s foibles in earlier scenes." - TOM WILLIAMS, CHICAGO CRITIC
