Halloween gone, NOTLD shuffles on

Even though Halloween is now a fading memory, Jobsite Theater's production of Night of the Living Dead is still shuffling on strong like a zombie looking for brains with eight more performances remaining.

Originally slated to close this Sunday, Nov. 8, we extended the run during opening week through a new close date of Nov. 15, giving us an opportunity to close on another ill-omened date that shares a name with another iconic horror film - Friday the 13th.

Jobsite is very excited to have sold 98% of all available tickets from the first two weeks of the run, including seven completely sold out shows.

As a matter of fact, if you're hoping to come this Saturday, Nov. 7, we strongly urge you to purchase your ticket as soon as possible since that show is nearing sold out status as well.

We've been getting sensational feedback from our audiences. You can read what folks are saying about the show here. Samples include:

Great Cultural Encounter at Jobsite Theater. If you haven't bought your tickets to see Night of the Living Dead ... you need to! What a great production ... – Christina Cook, TBBCA

Night of the Living Dead was beyond awesome. Seriously, if you have the means, go see this show!! Jobsite rules!! – Becky Harrell

Tampa Bay Peeps ... heed my warning ... if you do NOT go to see this show you are missing out on infinite fun! And not just any kind of fun ... awesome zombie end of the world Hallowe'eny kind of fun!! I went last night and will most likely go again! – Rachel Anne Lisi

Critic feedback has included:

“... compelling, and not without chilling moments ... [Holcom] has fun with the material without letting it descend into campiness ... [a] thoroughly enjoyable show.” – St. Petersburg Times

“ ... wildly entertaining ... worth viewing and pays homage to the original ... I promise you’ll leave the theater chuckling. Thank you Jobsite for another entertaining evening.” – Tommy in Old Seminole Heights

“The audience left laughing and smiling. All-in-all this is a fun, entertaining show that put me right in the mood for Halloween.” – Tampa Bay Arts Net

There are just eight performances remaining, and then Jobsite will be on hiatus for almost two months as we prepare to begin 2010 with the British sex farce What the Butler Saw.

I hope you can join us over the last two weeks! We're having a great time!
