The Our Time Theatre Company, which serves as the artistic home for young people who stutter, presents the compact stagings as the culmination of its One-Act Play Program, which pairs Our Time members with professional actors. The actors perform original works penned by the young members of the theatre company at the Cherry Lane Theatre.

Cherish Every Moment, a new work from Tom King about a family's loss, will feature Jace Alexander (I'm Not Rappaport, Assassins), Taro Alexander (STOMP) , Maddie Corman (Some Kind of Wonderful), Joel Higgins ("Silver Spoons") and Our Time company member Joseph Popovich, Jr. Writer King will also direct.
The final offering will be Edward Mawere's mother-daughter musical Mendacity. Mawere will direct his rock musical that features Noah Cornman ("Law & Order"), Carl Danielsen (The Big Voice: God or Merman?) and Emily Whyte.
A Q&A session with the writers will follow each performance. Performances are 8 PM Dec. 12, and 2 and 8 PM Dec. 13.
