The Howie Monologues (Growing Up in America)

“Learning America… one aggravation at a time!”

Howie (Herschel) Green begins his journey to learn America by biting his kindergarten teacher on the leg. The next 17 years are equally triumphant.

The Howie Monologues is a heartwarming semi-autobiographical tale that follows the first generation son of Russian Immigrant Jews as he reaches middle age and revisits the family, friends and lovers who shaped so much of his past, present and future. He encounters a younger version of himself and together they journey back through the years. Author Marvin Chernoff, who has a unique and perceptive eye, presents the humor, warmth, love and hope that are the timeless characteristics of the American Immigrant experience.

The Howie Monologues is directed by Larry Eisenberg & Ryan Paul James and features Eli Bildner, Victoria Blackburn, Larry Eisenberg, Lareen Faye, Pamela Hill, Ryan Paul James, and Philip Sokoloff.
