The Reservoir

by Jake Brasch
directed by Shelley Butler

February – March 2026
Linda Gross Theater

Josh’s life is a mess. He’s moved home to Denver to get sober, but after years of drinking, the fog in his brain won’t lift. Struggling with memory loss, confusion, and shame he finds himself strangely in step with his four aging grandparents. The Reservoir is a funny, human play about memory, recovery, and the joys of cross-generational connection.

We are thrilled to welcome Jake Brasch for their Off-Broadway debut directed by Shelley Butler (Fruiting Bodies).

Let’s Love! is a comedy, a trio of one acts, that explores love in all its miserable glory. The world is a confusing place and we are a confused people. But it’s easier to be confused together, so—let’s love!

Co-Production with Rattlestick Theater & The Terrence McNally Foundation

by Eliana Theologides Rodriguez
directed by Miranda Cornell

May – June 2026
Linda Gross Theater

In the summer of 2008, five young girls of color and their white fathers attend a program designed to bond families through handmade activities, camp-like adventures, and a heavy dose of cultural appropriation. But where can these girls turn when the program sparks questions that their fathers are unable – or unwilling – to answer? Inspired by the playwright’s experiences in a father-daughter program of the same name, Indian Princesses is a tender satire that explores the stories we tell, the histories we omit, and the truths that live inside us, waiting to come out.
