"I was so moved by the pride and the eloquence that these kids displayed on stage, baring themselves and being so articulate in the process. Nothing similar to Our Time existed when I was growing up. I was very interested in theater but never thought I could pursue it because of my speech. And so here is Our Time giving a demonstration of the possible." -- Simon Boughey, person who stutters
