“POWERFUL!!! Of all my years teaching, this was hands-down the best show I have ever seen in school! Lyle Cogen handled both levels (Grades K-3, Grades 4-6) with incredible, age-appropriate content. She infused her anti-bullying messages throughout the show with amazing honesty. Lyle's songs and poetry are from the heart.”

“This was a very powerful message that students need to get. I would like her to present twice a year to our 6th grade.”

“Sticks & Stones is truly an extraordinary musical production. The performer's passion, creativity, and vision shine through in every aspect of her performance. I would be shocked if there were a child or adult in the audience who couldn't personally relate to the subject matter. The artist was able to integrate literacy, character education, music, art, drama, technology, and real world situations into this spectacular one-woman show. Lyle Cogen is changing the world every time she performs this show. I wish everyone between the ages of 10 and 110 could see it.”

“This program should be an annual requirement! You could hear a pin drop, in a room full of young children, amazing!”

“I think this program was amazing. You should bring this program at the beginning of the year and at the end of the year.”

“Her lesson was very important and well presented to the students. I think it really hit home.”
