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.

The cast of Sins of the Mother features John Adams, Michael Bakkensen, Rudy Galvan, and Edward James Hyland.
