Bella O’Brien’s water from the river is also in the sea is scheduled to be produced in 2026 by Flamboyán.

Halo returns from a year abroad, to find her boyfriend has disappeared, and a new paramilitary state has taken root. As friendships unravel and danger creeps closer, Halo must confront a world that’s both familiar and terrifyingly foreign.

Baylee Shlichtman’s You Will be Made of Ashes Too will be produced in September 2025 and directed by Veronica Straight-Lingo.

In Baylee Shlichtman’s new horror comedy, a pair of estranged sisters must confront their past wounds in the aftermath of their mother’s unexpected death, a situation made more dire as it becomes clear that the house they are in is haunted by a mysterious spirit.

We are a performing arts theatre in Lakewood, Colorado, that focuses on uniting Puerto Ricans who share the love of music, poetry, theatre, and, most importantly, the place we call home, Puerto Rico.

Our home at The Three Leaches Theater in the 40 West Arts District hosts an art gallery, lounge, and 70 seat black box theatre that we envision as a home to Denver’s diverse communities and a hub for cultural celebration and exchange. While we celebrate our culture, we have a Pan-Latiné heart that wishes to celebrate our Latin American family.
