2009-10 season opener title change!

We open the final performance of our 10th anniversary season - the punk rock mob musical Pericles - in just a few days, but the first show of our 2009-10 season is also right around the corner. However, we've had to make a change from our previously announced schedule.

Due to circumstance beyond our control we will be replacing Yellowman with Paula Vogel's inventive and hilarious play And Baby Makes Seven.

A love triangle with more than three sides: Anna, Ruth and Peter await the arrival of their newborn child, but first they must rid the crowded apartment of their three imaginary children. Completely blurring the lines between illusion and reality, power and subjection, friendship and love, female and male - And Baby Makes Seven is a celebration of narrative, of the power of the theatre to make fantasy real. It commemorates the childhood one never had, the friends wished for but never gained, the desires never acknowledged. From the author of The Mineola Twins, How I Learned to Drive and The Baltimore Waltz. "Filled with outrageous touches, And Baby Makes Seven is one of those rare theatergoing opportunities where everything comes together in a string of magical moments. Be prepared to be enchanted seven times!" - Austin American Statesman

And Baby Makes Seven will be directed by Karla Hartley and will still run the same dates scheduled for the other title, Sept. 24 - Oct. 11, 2009.

Season tickets for Jobsite's 2009-10 season are still available at a 20% discount. A ticket to all six Jobsite mainstage offerings is just $117.60 per person plus a $10 handling fee per order. Season ticket holders get all sorts of perks in addition to saving money, and are critical to Jobsite's long-term stability.
