Jack Angelo Cummings

Son of a firefighter, Jack is a NJ/NYC based playwright and performer, born and raised around where they filmed The Sopranos. He writes funny sad plays about American people living under common (yet uniquely painful) circumstances, surviving failure, and gracefully accepting their own smallness. Jack won the 2025 Kirk New Play Prize, is a Sewanee Writers Conference Scholar, Judith Royer Award Finalist, and Austin Film Festival Second-Rounder. His work has been developed by The Luna Stage, New Jersey Play Labs, Drew University, The Barrow Group, Premiere Stages, William Esper Studio, City Lit Theater, and more. Jack is an alumni of the William Esper Studio in NYC and has performed at various improv venues in Chicago. Jack also coordinates the New Moon Staged Reading Series at Luna Stage in West Orange, New Jersey.
