More information about The Reservoir
In The Reservoir, Josh’s life is in shambles. 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 story is personal for playwright Jake Brasch, a sober artist from Colorado. Brasch is also a playwright on the rise: they are recent graduate of the Playwriting Program at The Juilliard School. The Reservoir marks Brasch's off-Broadway debut, but the play is already popular around the country: the world premiere was co-produced by the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Alliance Theatre, and Geffen Playhouse, while a second production was presented at Berkeley Repertory Theatre in California this fall.
Brasch is known for sly, smart humor and is the writer of HOLE!, which opened to rave reviews at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
