Two awesome Job-side Projects - 9/28 and 10/9

The Job-side Project umbrella has grown (which we love!) to now include Job-side Staged Readings and Job-side Productions.

Job-side Staged Readings are held as often as once per month on Monday nights and are an excellent opportunity for playwrights to have their work loosely staged and read aloud by our ensemble. These readings are done with script in hand with a minimal number of rehearsals for the actors, typically on a make-shift set and minimal technical embellishment. The emphasis here is on the exploration of the written word, and Jobsite typically offers an opportunity after the reading for the playwright and possibly the other artists to gather feedback from the audience.

Happy Family

Mon. 7:30 pm
Tickets: $5 at the door; FREE for Jobsite season ticket holders (email us to secure your seats.)
Shimberg Playhouse, TBPAC

What do you get when you mix an overweight pothead, a scary sister, family drama and your local neighborhood dope man? Happy Family is a story of four people coming together out of mutual need that leads to a shaky dependency which like certain kinds of closeness, can lead to violence.

Job-side Productions are fully produced evenings from members of the Jobsite Ensemble that occur late nights or off-nights in the theater when the mainstage production does not need the space.
