New York Theater Festival presents the World Premiere of the play The Discerning Dummy written by Juan Carlos Hernandez at The LATEA Theater, 107 Suffolk Street, New York, NY 10002.
The story centers on John, a young seminarian embarking on his first year at seminary, eager to learn and deepen his spirituality. He arrives with a sense of innocence, accompanied by a ventriloquist dummy named Charlie. Soon, John observes that the Church, alongside its compassion, is also marked by politics, pride, disagreements, and even outright wrongdoing. As he studies philosophy, he increasingly recognizes the flaws within the clergy. When John's faith is put to the test, he relies on his unique talent, generosity, and loyal companion Charlie to confront corruption within the institution.
Cast:
Anthony James Hernandez (John), Spencer Gonzalez (Steven), Steve Arons (Fr. Debango), Sam Vana (Victor), James David Rich (Fr. Hogan) and Ashley M. Cowles (Kate).
