Tamer of Hoses examines the intersecting themes of youth violence, education and the realization of one's own potential. The piece tells the story of a runaway from a detention center that finds refuge living on a farm in New Jersey, under the condition that he learn to read. Hector (Joshua Torrez), a troubled youth whose talent for rap rivals his penchant for criminal behavior, is befriended by Ty (Juan Villa^*), a former teacher who takes Hector under his wing. Ty forges a bond with him that has the power to redeem or destroy them both.

The cast for Tamer of Horses includes: Juan Francisco Villa* (Ty), Sari Sanchez (Georgiane), and Joshua Torrez (Hector).

The production team for Tamer of Horses includes: Ron OJ Parson+ (director), Christopher Kriz (sound design), Brian Sidney Bembridge (scenic and lighting design). Other members of the production team will be determined at a later date.
