& Sons

by Jack Angelo Cummings

Directed by Matt Monaco

April 9 - May 3, 2026

Winner of the Kirk Prize for Best New Play, & Sons by Jack Angelo Cummings is a sharply funny, quietly devastating portrait of brotherhood, labor, and the ways men learn—often badly—to love one another.

On a New Jersey construction site, the DiSanti crew eats subs, burritos, and pizza on their lunch break while everything underneath begins to crack. Dom, the sweet-natured, perpetually high second son, is caught between his best friend Juan, a driven protégé hungry to lead the company, and his older brother Anthony, a imposing, tightly wound

figure newly returned after years of unexplained absence. As power struggles escalate and old wounds resurface, the men avoid saying what they feel—touching, jostling, and posturing instead, using work and food as cover for grief, loyalty, and longing. By turns hilarious and aching, & Sons is an intimate meditation on masculinity, inheritance, and how blue-collar men translate emotion into action when language fails.
