Romeo and Juliet, Burbage theatre Company
"The cast brilliantly conveys the sheer aliveness of these doomed characters, making their unavoidable demise matter. The affection between Juliet and her nurse (Amie Lytle), or Romeo and his friends, shines so bright that these characters immediately gain our sympathy."

"...spell binding performances..."
"Another terrific performance is by Amie Lytle as Juliet's nurse, who serves as a confidante to the vulnerable girl."

Edge Media Network
"Two of the most outstanding performers in this show are David Sackal as Friar Laurence and Amie Lytle as the Nurse. Their vocal prowess, line delivery and facial expressions are astonishing. David's emotion packed lines are wonderful to listen to as he stops Romeo from killing himself and concocts the plan to make Juliet appear to be dead from a potion, he gives her. Amie handles both the comic and dramatic moments wonderfully. She has many comic moments while chasing after Juliet around the stage and a comical one with Mercutio and Romeo, too. Amie's most poignant moment comes when she finds Juliet dead in her bed. Her reaction will leave you with tears in your eyes."
Tony's Corner
"This is an outstanding 'Romeo and Juliet."
"...there are a host of excellent performances. Some to watch for: Amie Lytle as the Nurse, David Sackal as Friar Lawrence, Andy Stigler and Francesca Hansen-DiBello as the Capulet parents, and Eddy Tavares as an angry Tybalt."

Robyn is happy, hub theatre company of boston
"Robyn (the confident, hilarious Amie Lytle)..."
"Robyn is Happy is fascinating to watch.."
"'Robyn is Happy' Deals in Devastating Discomfort." The New England Theater Geek.
"Watching the three actresses perform for an hour and thirty minutes was a delight. The chemistry between the trio was amusing as they handled dark matters with witty one liners and heated repartee."
"The titular character is not the focus of the play, but that is not the fault of actress Amie Lytle. She gave a nuanced portrayal of a hard working lawyer trying to secure happiness that was once hers. Her character development over the course of the play is convincing. She proves to be a powerful presence on the stage, and has great chemistry with the other two actresses as well."
Nathan Espinal. “Robyn is Happy” acts a guide to navigating the complexities of life." The Suffolk Journal.
"'Robyn is Happy' is a funny, heart-warming comedy..."
"The three stars of the show — Christine Dickinson as Hannah, Lauren Elias as Trudy, and Amie Lytle as the titular Robyn — performed brilliantly, truly capturing the idiosyncrasies of their respective characters."
Kiran Kishor Galani. "REVIEW: ‘Robyn is Happy’ takes audiences on an emotional rollercoaster." The Daily Free Press.

FINISH LINE, Boston Theater Company and the Boch Center
"The stellar cast of 11, playing 14 different roles, includes local thespians Karen MacDonald, Paula Plum, Amie Lytle, Lewis D. Wheeler, Greg Maraio, Ed Hoopman, Danny Bolton, Tonasia Jones, and Omar Robinson plus Sam Tanabe and Los Angeles actress and Paralympian Katy Sullivan."
"One of Downing’s daughters, preschool teacher Erika Brannock (Lytle), represents the survivors. Despite having lost a leg and enduring 22 surgeries, she speaks with pride about being able to pick up one of her students while slyly admitting, “Of course I picked the smallest kid that weighed the least amount.”
Jeffrey Gantz. "With stellar cast, ‘Finish Line’ bears witness to tragedy, recovery." Boston Globe.
"Actress Amie Lytle, portraying Ericka Brannock, a Baltimore preschool teacher who lost her leg and was the last to leave the critical-care unit, delivers the most inspiring story, dotted with humor (she has a cat named Fenway) and pathos. Her defining moment is not the tragedy, but "how I come out of it." Ditto for the rest of the city."
~Dana Barbuto, "Theater review: In ‘Finish Line,’ the truth speaks for itself" Wicked Local Cambridge.
"That leaves the actors the not so simple task of being transparent, not getting in the way of what is already there, but bringing it naturally alive. This cast is among Boston’s best and they did us proud. "
"At the fulcrum of the play she is joined on stage by Paula Plum, breathtaking as Carol Downing a massage therapist from out of town, searching for her daughter Erika a pre-school teacher (the brightly charismatic Amie Lytle)."
~Joyce Kulhawick, "Theater: Finish Line: A Documentary Play about the 2013 Boston Marathon" www.joyceschoice.com
"These people – from ordinary spectators to heroic medics – are remarkably and absolutely believably brought to life by 11 spot-on actors, and their stories are rivetingly directed by Frangieh."
~Kathy Scrizzi Driscoll, "‘Finish Line’ gives voice to those bonded by marathon bombing", Cape Cod Times.
"Finish Line is a profound examination of how a community endures tragedy. It is both raw and sensitive without falling into the easy traps of melodrama and exploitation. You will leave the theater certainly with pride for Boston, but more importantly with a faith in humankind."

NEVERMORE, Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater
"This tragic figure and his macabre stories are brought to life in the new musical “Nevermore,” now at Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater. Directed by Christopher Ostrom, the musical is full of beautiful harmonies, fine acting and plenty of dread..."
"Amie Lytle is sugary sweet as Elmira, a childhood friend of Poe, whom he finds comfort in following Virginia’s death. With her kind smile and twangy Richmond accent, Elmira is Poe’s thematic opposite; she is the type of woman who offers lemonade, while Poe wants whiskey."
~Racine Oxtoby, "Edgar Allan Poe gets the musical treatment in Wellfleet" The Provincetown Banner
"The cast is strong; Ethan Paulini as Poe is haunting — he talks of fighting voices in his head and repeats the refrain of 'all I loved I loved alone.' And the women are convincing as both real characters and allegorical figures."
"'Nevermore' is an impressive operatic field trip into the mind of a literary giant plagued by demons."
~Carol Panasci, "Poe's demons, genius explored in 'Nevermore'" Cape Cod Times

THE KRITIK, Harbor Stage Company
"...boastfully described by Chief Minister Chairwoman Shrand (adorably officious Amie Lytle) as “the fifth-most admired city in the sixth-most popular county in the Eastern half of the Rural and Subrural Provinces of Russia.”
~Sandy MacDonald, "In a Chekhov-inspired comedy, everyone's a critic except the critic." Boston Globe.
"As actors, townspeople and Volya meet in a tavern, the discussion flies with delightful humor and insight."
"The cast of 10 powerfully fills the stage."
"Amie Lytle is very fine as Shrand. As others speak, she makes silent comments with an array of comic facial expressions."
~Debbie Forman, "'The Kritik' shines spotlight on reviewer's role." Cape Cod Times.
"David Oliver Nelson and Amie Lytle provide comic relief through the characters of Mr. Mukhanonononov (that name!) and Shrand, respectively."

HOLY LAUGHTER, WAM Theatre
"Now WAM Theatre presents us with “Holy Laughter” by Catherine Trieschmann, a play that may well join the other plays mentioned above as a very revivable comedy play whose situation touches us, enlightens us and amuses us — all at the same time."
"Amie Lytle has an inner energy that seems to drive Father Abigail — or is it Mother Abigail, I’m never sure — onto a carousel that spins out of control."
"That is the intensity the play requires of its central character and it is what Lytle gives us in this production. It’s an amazing, funny 'spin' on the traditional role of Priest at the center of the action."
~J. Peter Bergman, "REVIEW: ‘Holy Laughter,’ WAM Theatre’s delightful comedy", The Berkshire Edge.

THE VOICES OF WE, 333 Productions, Boston Playwright's Theatre
"The night particularly belonged to Amie Lytle in, “The Other Cheek,” and Lynn Wilcott in, “Rubenesque.” They were brave with their choices using either the full stage or almost none of it. Their characters were emotionally fragile but physically stable. The dichotomy was impressive."
"They were plentiful because the writing was effective and the acting was very good."
~Kitty Drexel, "The Power of Shame: THE VOICES OF WE", New England Theatre Geek.

UNCLE VANYA, Harbor Stage Company
"electrifying production"
"Chekhov's complex and eminently flawed characters are brought to scintillating reality by the five actors who charge the play with pulsating tension. You're not likely to see better acting on a Broadway stage."
"Amie Lytle's discerning portrayal of the all-suffering Sonya, who tries to make the best of her unhappy life, brings forth the unfairness that poignantly riddles the play; a gentle soul and peacemaker in the family, she endures despite all the despair that rages around her."
~Debbie Forman, "Review: Wellfleet Harbor Theater offers Flawless 'Uncle Vanya'", Cape Cod Times
"As Sonya, Amie Lytle is perfect as the estate-locked daughter desperate herself to find a relationship, something she feels is difficult because of her plainness. Lytle’s acting is superb, embodying Chekov’s thread of unrequited love woven throughout the play as she constantly tries to catch the eye and attention of Dr. Astrov."
~John Watters, "Check off another Chekhov at Harbor Stage", Barnstable Patriot
"More importantly, the plight of these characters is timeless and transcends geography so that it is as relevant in a theater on a Cape Cod beach as it was in 19th-century Russia. But also, the Harbor Stage Company production gives us strong performances that inject a vibrancy into the text that pulls us in and keeps us there through till the end."

not JENNY, Bridge Rep of Boston
"Jenny – who gives new meaning to the phrase 'bitch on wheels'…"
"Amie Lytle as Jenny literally kept the play moving. As she artfully trundled about in that wheelchair, her emotional shifts from vague to sarcastic to angry to psychotic and back to vague again kept this reviewer blissfully on the edge of his seat. Her persistent use of baby talk was a delicate but effective choice and eerily mirrored her pitiful situation; a “child” who can’t bathe herself and who’d never be able to visit Uncle Grumpy without assistance."
~Vincent McPeek, "Bitch on Wheels", Vincent McPeek Theatre Reviews
"The dialogue between the clueless popular girl and the "gloomer" (as Jenny dubs her sister) is especially effective and brutally funny - particularly in one exchange when Jenny chides her sister about her inability to attract boys, and Not Jenny responds by revealing that she is a lesbian."
"...the acting is the real strength of this production."
~Mike Hoban, "'not Jenny' Takes Painful (and Humorous) Look at Hurt People (4 Stars)", Boston Events Insider
"...intense, intimate and beautifully acted…"
"The actors do a remarkably believable job of shifting personas on the spot."
"Jenny switches from being a desperate, wounded and sadistic adult to being a perfectly bitchy and self-involved high school prima donna. Though the emotional landscapes are related, Amie Lytle does a great job of calling forth the variant forms of nastiness that her two points of character demand."

CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF, Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater
"She does beautiful battle with her sister-in-law Mae, portrayed with delightful wickedness by Amie Lytle. We hate Mae not because she is deceitful and snotty, nor because she is conniving, as most every character is. Rather it is because she embodies the only one that really has some respect for an establishment that even this ruling family can see has outlived its usefulness, if it ever had any. She plays the villain with a fine ease, keeping Mae from becoming a caricature and giving her humanity."
~Steve Desroches, "Review: Cat On A Hot Tin Roof", Provincetown Magazine
~Steve Desroches, "Review: Cat On A Hot Tin Roof", Provincetown Magazine
"Amie Lytle sounds just the right tone as Mae, the other 'cat' in the play. A busybody who personifies the description of 'catty', she is constantly attacking Maggie by casting aspersions on her infertility."

CHURCH, Harbor Stage Company
"Masterfully performed..."
"It is the three actresses who create the atmosphere of the religious service, with Withers, Amanda Collins and Amie Lytle as three other reverends using the bare space with lectern and a few folding chairs. The three earnestly share personal stories of past sins and Satan, as well as of gratitude. They also are wonderful in harmonizing during a religious song and creating an increasingly joyful dance..."
Kathi Scrizzi Driscoll, Harbor Stage's 'Church' Will Get Theatergoers Talking, Cape Cod Times

"Lytle is a pleasure to watch as she tells us how she came to find salvation."
Mary Richmond, Church as Theater or Theater as Church?, The Barnstable Patriot
"Its skilled cast seems to thoroughly enjoy every moment, even the ones where their characters are painfully, or more often embarrassingly, honest, and their pleasure is infectious."
"With the sharp acting characteristic of this company, the players interact and move across the stage with a loose, natural spontaneity."
"There is a kindness, a real sense of love and acceptance that practically glows off the stage..."

AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS, Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater
"…what a delightful show they have…"
"...the stage is abuzz with action as five actors take on a total of 39 roles. None of them misses a beat."
"Whether the scene is a study, an exclusive club, train, boat or an elephant ride in Bombay, it all comes to life in the deft hands of this accomplished cast, designer and director."
"Joe Piertropaolo, John Long, Justin Pietropaolo, Amie Lytle and Mark Torres bring amazing athleticism to their roles, weaving in and out of characters and costumes with great comedic timing."
"The cast’s chemistry and on-point timing is reminiscent of “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” and the Second City improvisational troupe."
~Candace Hammond, "Five Wellfleet actors playing 39 roles turn '80 Days' into fast-paced fun", Wicked Local
"And it is quite a feat for the five versatile actors who take on multiple roles in Wellfleet Harbor Actor Theater’s production of 'Around the World in 80 Days'…"
"The other four actors portray 30-some characters, swiftly managing transformations in the blink of an eye or the turn of a coat. So it is a manic, madcap journey."
"...the actors are so expressive in transporting us on boat and train and to various exotic places."

HOLY LAUGHTER, WAM Theatre
"Although Lytle identifies as agnostic, she seems to project a reverent and sympathetic manner, especially in auditions. 'It's this funny thing that I keep getting drawn to stories of faith and renewal,'she says, citing a number of recent roles akin to that of Abigail, the well-meaning pastor of a church with a diverse congregation and a slim budget."
Dalton, Joseph. "Holy Laughter at WAM Theater tells story of young woman newly appointed to ministry", Times Union.
"A lot of actors have had that feeling of finding their people in the theater, Lytle said: 'a feeling of home, safety, joy.'"
Abbott, Katherine. "A young woman priest finds her way in "Holy Laughter" at WAM Theatre", The Berkshire Eagle.
BWW News Desk. "Cast Announced for WAM Theatre's HOLY LAUGHTER", Broadway World.
“Holy Laughter is a poignant comedy that follows Abigail, an Episcopal priest who finds that the reality of leading a church is radically and hilariously different than what she learned in seminary. Hymns, liturgical dance and a wicked tongue lift this antic portrait of a small, struggling congregation to comic heights."
