Throat

​The play follows Cesar Rodriguez, who steps off the plane onto the tarmac and ends up on the Upper East Side. He's trying to put the war behind him but he knows that promises made must be fulfilled. With the help of his best friend, a therapist, and love-stricken pigeons in the park, Cesar goes to war with the demons of the past and the only victor is the truth. A dangerous confrontation, an unsuccessful hook-up, and an explosive order. How do you learn to forgive yourself when you know it was your fault?

But when he learns that Gilbert Gonzalez has returned as the new pastor at the basilica, Joe’s confronted with the choices he made in life and questions the past the only way he knows how—with anger, pride, and a biting tongue.
