Ken Rus Schmoll directs the play, billed this way by Off-Broadway's NYTW: "A box of old letters and a father's dying wish leads Michael Kiriakos to dig up the buried memories of his hidden family history. After meeting Rose, his father's now-elderly, Armenian pen pal, Michael slowly learns of a past he never knew existed — one of exile, sacrifice and, ultimately, redemption."

Written by the author of MCC Theater's Still Life, Red Dog Howls "explores the horrors of human atrocities, the enduring strength of the human spirit, and how the choices we make as husbands, sons, wives, and daughters will — for better or worse — reverberate for generations."

The production team includes scenic designer Marsha Ginsberg; costume designer David C. Woolard; lighting designer Tyler Micoleau; sound designer Jane Shaw; fight coordinator Scott Barrow; vocal coach Ginger Eckert; and production stage manager Megan Smith.
