SEP 13, 2023 – OCT 8, 2023

Before winning an Oscar® as a writer of Shakespeare in Love, Tom Stoppard delivered a comic retelling involving the Bard of Stratford-upon-Avon — he dove into Hamlet retelling it from the point of view of two bumbling support players. The entire world is a stage, and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern play their part as the unwitting pawns in history’s greatest tragedy. This is the story of what “really” happens behind the scenes as events pass them by.

OCT 18, 2023 – NOV 12, 2023

Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s creature (Paul J. Potenza) is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker (Giles Davies). Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the friendless Creature, increasingly desperate and vengeful, determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal. Scientific responsibility, neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil are embedded in this disturbing classic that remains unsettling more than 200 years after it was published.

In this joyous, rollicking comedy with music (composed by our own award-winning Jeremy Douglass), a hurricane forces a shipwreck and young Viola believes her twin brother Sebastian drowned. Determined to survive on her own, she takes on a disguise to explore this new, mysterious land. Thus begins a whirlwind of mistaken identity and unrequited love. This treasured comedy brims with wild infatuations, swooning serenades, drunken high-jinks, and beloved characters.

Set in a small town in the mountains of Connemara, Galway, THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE spins the darkly comic yarn of Maureen Folan (Katrina Stevenson), a woman who feels like anything but a beauty queen. After a lifetime spent caring for her bullying tyrant of a mother (Roxanne Fay), 40-year-old Maureen feels that she has been robbed of any chance of romance or a life of her own. When true love (David M. Jenkins) finally does come along for Maureen, the two women lock horns until scores are settled. With plot twists and story conundrums, THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE will have audiences laughing aloud one moment and covering their mouths in stunned silence the next.

MAY 15, 2024 – JUN 9, 2024

This dark comic fable takes place in a garden where a community of different insects is disrupted by the appearance of an injured butterfly. EL MALEFICIO DE LA MARIPOSA (The Butterfly’s Evil Spell) was the first play written by Spanish poet and dramatist Federico Garcia Lorca, however the script was lost and later found missing several pages and an ending. Jobsite will adapt this work to create an event for audiences who speak English and Spanish.

The antici … pation is over for Jobsite’s spin on the OG kitschy rock ‘n’ roll sci-fi gothic musical. Straightlaced Brad Majors and Janet Weiss discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter as they look for a phone to call for help with a flat tire. As their innocence (and more) is stripped away, they encounter a castle-full of wild characters while the not-so-good Dr. and his motley crew unveil his latest creation — a Charles Atlas-inspired beefcake named Rocky. Give yourself over to absolute pleasure at this iconic landmark of musical theater – we promise, it’s ASTOUNDING.
