“ Premiere Stages, the professional Equity theatre in residence at Kean University, is pleased to recognize “The Reservoir” by Jake Brasch as a Semi-Finalist for the 2023 Premiere Play Festival. “The Reservoir” rose through a competitive selection process conducted by Premiere staff and a panel of outside theatre professionals to become one of 40 Semi-Finalists out of 701 submissions. The panel was particularly impressed by Josh’s flawed earnestness fueling his desire to hold onto things, as well as the balanced laugh-out-loud comedy and serious reflections. Our congratulations and thanks to Jake. ”
