Jobsite

WHO WE ARE

Jobsite is a professional non-profit 501(c)(3) theater company that has been serving the Tampa Bay area since 1998. Most of our productions occur in the Shimberg Playhouse at the David A. Straz, Jr. Center for the Performing Arts, Tampa, where we are the official resident theater company.

Jobsite has become a vital regional presence through professionally-produced, daring and unique programming; by nurturing regional talent through our Ensemble Program; and by an unwavering commitment to the energetic creative class that we’ve served since our first steps.

A historical area of emphasis has been the creation of new work and the exploration of texts often overlooked in the hustle to produce “what’s hot” coming out of New York. The 2020-21 season marks the 21st year we’ve dedicated an entire mainstage production to a non-published play (Dr. Ride’s American Beach House).

Jobsite is committed to community engagement on multiple fronts. We provide weekday matinees and in-class outreach opportunities to middle and high schools, and also regularly work with colleges across five counties. We regularly partner with community organizations and host a series of public forums to bring people together in dialogue on a wide range of topics. We offer free and reduced-cost access to a number of groups within our community, from those considered LMI to students to persons 65+ to the military, veterans, and their families.
