Israel Horovitz's SINS OF THE MOTHER to be Presented at NJ Rep

​New Jersey Repertory Company will present Sins of the Mother by playwright Israel Horovitz, directed by Evan Bergman, beginning performances April 10 through May 3, 2026. 

Set in the tight-knit fishing town of Gloucester, Massachusetts, Sins of the Mother follows Douggie, a young man returning home to prove his roots among a group of rugged, fiercely loyal locals who live by their hands—and sometimes by violence. In a place where everyone knows everyone, belonging must be earned. As Douggie attempts to confirm his past, he is pulled into a web of long-buried secrets tied to his mother and the town itself. What unfolds is a gripping, darkly humorous exploration of identity, loyalty, and the lingering scars of unfinished wars.
