A month of great theatre stories, plus we speak to Denver-born playwright Jake Brasch, whose play ‘The Reservoir’ gets its world premiere at the Denver Center
In this episode of the OnStage Colorado Podcasts, Alex Miller and Toni Tresca are joined by special guest host John Moore. A longtime theatre writer in Colorado and senior arts reporter at the Denver Gazette, John is also the creator of the annual True West Awards honoring local theatre folks. He’s also the founder of the Denver Actors Fund, which to date has raised and donated over $1.5 million to theatre folks (and in somecases, their pets).
Also in this episode, Alex interviews The Reservoir playwright Jake Brasch. The Denver native has their first professionally produced work in a world premiere at the Denver Center, opening in previews Jan. 17.
