-Chad Jones, Theatre Dogs

This touching and surprisingly funny world premiere play is a quintessential homecoming story.  On the momentous occasion of his sixtieth birthday, a Korean immigrant returns to Texas to reunite with the family he abandoned 15 years before.  As the birthday celebration unfolds, his wife and their three grown kids must traverse their own broken past to allow for the promise of a future.
