The Reservoir Synopsis
Josh’s life is spiraling, but luckily, his grandparents are here to help. Unfortunately help comes as unsolicited advice, as well as relentlessly judging his life choices. In addition to bringing up their own mortality over coffee, they also drag him to Jazzercise class at the JCC. From Bev’s tough love to Shrimpy’s inappropriate jokes, these grandparents steal the show. However, despite it all, they help Josh find his way. The Reservoir is a sharply funny and deeply heartfelt new play about family, memory, and healing.
