ATLANTA,
Georgia - Little would one suspect to hear a
5-year old student at a charter school in Atlanta, Georgia screaming at the top
of her voice: “Where is BahamaMan?!” But
it is happening; and it is happening more and more at a growing number of
kindergarten and elementary schools in the Atlanta area.
BahamaMan© is a story book
character created by Tyrone Sawyer II, a standout Bahamian track & field
athlete, and his wife Jemima. Under the
aegis of their company, Aunt Jemima’s Playhouse LLC, the Sawyers have
introduced a fun, innovative way to reach children between two and twelve years
old, which is widely considered to be the most vital stage of their development. Aunt Jemima’s Playhouse is a cultural
children’s program that teaches Geography, Foreign Languages and Music through
the use of its unique characters and original songs.
The creative
juices of Tyrone and Jemima Sawyer did not stop there. The Sawyers have put on ready display their
ability to innovate. Through Aunt
Jemima’s Playhouse, they have introduced a stellar line-up of dynamic
characters. There is Senor Burro© the walking, talking
donkey from Mexico who teaches students Spanish. There is Madame Belle©, the shy cow from
France who teaches the children French.
BahamaMan’s© calling is to teach the
children social responsibility by engaging them in a fun-filled environment
that makes them want to learn. Each
character has its own personality and its own story to tell.

Aunt Jemima’s
Playhouse has introduced a revolution in education in a changing global
environment. This new approach has caused many schools in Atlanta and beyond to
take notice by inviting Aunt Jemima’s Playhouse to share this unique brand of
education with their students. Explained
Tyrone Sawyer II, “We have seen our business grow very quickly since we started
in 2012. Our goal is to ensure that Aunt
Jemima Playhouse grows in a way that ensures that we always have fun with the
children and continue to lead by providing new, easy-to-grasp teaching skills.”
Aunt Jemima’s
Playhouse has already begun to spread its wings when earlier in the year, it
staged its first show featuring its songs and characters, and starring its
students. This show was staged to
widespread acclaim. Stated Mr. Jay Bryan,
owner of the Goddard School, Sandy Springs, Georgia: “I have found that Aunt
Jemima’s Playhouse has provided a rich learning environment to my school; and I
have seen positive changes in our kids that make it easy for me to support
Tyrone and Jemima in this venture.”
On Saturday,
October 25th, 2014, Aunt Jemima’s Playhouse LLC will stage its next exciting
event entitled,
“BahamaMan: Return of The Witches 3”. The venue of the show is the North Atlanta
Church, 5676 Roberts Drive, Atlanta Georgia at
4:00 p.m. Aunt Jemima’s Playhouse invites the wider community
to come to enjoy the show featuring the superhero, BahamaMan© and original songs with
the assistance of 150 performing students from different schools across
Atlanta.
Part proceeds
from the BahamaMan© Show will be donated to
the Cowart Family/Ashford Dunwoody YMCA to benefit youth sports. Aunt Jemima’s Playhouse is also proud to
announce the release of its second album, “Children of One World”.
