Denver Center Theatre Company Announces Full Cast And Creative Team For THE RESERVOIR World Premiere
The Reservoir will launch a co-production in Denver on January 17, 2025, and then transfer to Atlanta where it will start performances at the Alliance Theatre.
The Denver Center Theatre Company has announced the full casting and creative team for the world premiere production of The Reservoir by Jake Brasch (our tempest, How to Draw a Triangle).
The Reservoir will launch a co-production in Denver on January 17, 2025, and then transfer to Atlanta where it will start performances at the Alliance Theatre on March 29, 2025, and conclude in Los Angeles at Geffen Playhouse with performances beginning on June 18, 2025.
Denver-born playwright Jake Brasch's The Reservoir, left audiences buzzing at the Denver Center Theatre Company's 2023 Colorado New Play Summit (CNPS) and is continuing to achieve success throughout the American theatre. Following the 2023 CNPS, The Reservoir was named a finalist of the Alliance Theatre's 2024 Kendeda National Graduate Playwriting Competition and the recipient of the Social Impact Theatre Grant from The Sheri and Les Biller Family Foundation.
“Witnessing a production from the early stages of development to a full production is always such a joy, but the opportunity to be one of the theatres co-producing a playwright's first professional production is particularly rewarding,” said Artistic Director Chris Coleman. “The Reservoir is a hilarious and heartbreaking story based in Denver that will share in the camaraderie of family and the struggles of getting through your darkest times.”
