Mark Wing-Davey directs the production, which also features Randy Harrison, Louis Cancelmi, Mark Blum, Rob Campbell, Pierre Epstein, Deborah Offner and Susan Pourfar. The Singing Forest centers on "your typical American family [who] haven't spoken to each other in decades," according to show notes. "Severed by deeply buried secrets from the Holocaust, these endearing individuals are desperate to stay out of contact with each other. Their story takes you on a passage from today's world of Starbucks, celebrity and therapy to Freud's inner circle in Vienna and to Paris at the end of WWII."
