HELD OVER: Dead Man's Cell Phone

Jobsite Theater's critically-acclaimed production of Dead Man's Cell Phone, originally slated to close on Sun., June 20, has added performances through June 27.

"A fine production.... Original, unpredictable, poignantly lyrical.... Expect humor, whimsical plot developments, sudden insights and an all-too-justifiable fixation on death. There are several coups-de-theâtre.... The Jobsite team delivers fully with every performance" – Creative Loafing

"The six-person cast, directed by David M. Jenkins, is phenomenal, delivering some of the most uniformly excellent acting you're likely to see on a Tampa stage this year." – St. Petersburg Times

"...an innovative play ... tender yet exasperated, as though [Ruhl's] head-flicking us and asking why we don't do a better job connecting. ...the cast [is] hugely talented, subtle and charming." – Tampa Tribune


The added performances will be:

Fri., June 25 at 8pm
Sat., June 26 at 8pm
Sun., June 27 at 4pm.

Tickets are still priced at $24.50, with a student/senior/military rush for $10 as of 30 minutes to curtain with cash and a valid ID.

Tickets for these additional performances will go on sale Monday morning, and can be purchased by calling 813.229.7827, at the Straz Center Ticket Office or by visiting jobsitetheater.org, where you may also find complete show information.

Dead Man's Cell Phone is "phenomenal," "innovative," and "excellent!"

We begin our second weekend of performances of the hit play Dead Man's Cell Phone tonight (6/10, 8p) in the Shimberg Playhouse. We hope that if you haven't joined us yet that you can attend this weekend, and that if you have come that you can recommend us to friends!

The six-person cast is getting sensational feedback from audiences and critics alike:

Amazing show! Amazing cast! Once again a fantastic performance and a great show! – Mike Corrao

In attendance for the preview. Packed house. Crowd was enthusiastic. Play is a light but thought-provoking look at the way we give meaning to our lives (at least that's my take.) All you need to know is that Steve Garland and Katrina Stevenson are awesome and make the show worth seeing just for their performances. – Anthony Salveggi

Had a great time at Dead Man's Cell Phone and at The Independent afterwards. Folks, do yourself a favor and go see the show. Some wonderful stuff and lots of laughs there! – Caroline Jett

Just got back from your most recent production. Really enjoyed it and the cast was great. Everyone did a great job, but is was especially nice to see Steve Garland back. We look forward to seeing the next play and re-subscribing for next season! Keep up the great work – John and Lori Pate

Head over to our website to read more feedback from folks, read a full release on the show, look at our photos, watch video and more!

We're having a great time and look forward to more full houses! Don't miss this solid production by America's hottest new playwright!
