THE RESERVOIR
by Jake Brasch
directed by Shelley Butler
February – March 2026
Linda Gross Theater | 336 West 20th St.
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).
Co-Production with Rattlestick Theater & The Terrence McNally Foundation
INDIAN PRINCESSES
by Eliana Theologides Rodriguez
directed by Miranda Cornell
May – June 2026
Linda Gross Theater | 336 West 20th St.
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.
Indian Princesses is a brand new play that marks the Off-Broadway debuts of both Eliana Theologides Rodriguez and Miranda Cornell.
Plus, a fourth new play to be announced!
