ATW Play Reading: El Tiempo Que Tenemos by Ollie Corchado at The Actors Theatre Workshop

When time is of the essence, how do we reconcile family history with the present?

A medical emergency at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic creates a difficult time for five family members who have been separated by distance, feuds, life, and time.

El Tiempo Que Tenemos is a portrait of Puerto Rican familial diáspora, one world where some family members stay on the island, and another world where family members return, having left and created their own lives outside the island. Binding all the characters together is Time. A past time full of love and pain that affects a present time where distance and fears of time lost speed up the hands on the clock as the family tries to reconcile the conflicts that separated them in the first place.
