10-11 Early Bird pricing held over!

Jobsite Theater is holding over their Early Bird pricing on their 2010-11 season through Sat., July 31. Early Bird pricing on season tickets was originally set to expire Fri., July 9.

Though frankly not unusual to hold over a special offer, Jobsite is extending the offer much deeper into the summer than in years past. Jobsite Producing Artistic Director David Jenkins offers that "We're extremely proud of this upcoming season, and know that we have a real opportunity now to increase our season ticket base with the strength of titles such as The Odd Couple and Taming of the Shrew alongside adaptations of popular novels like Einstein's Dreams and Mindgame and newer award-winning plays like Yellowman and reasons to be pretty. We want to give people as much time as possible to respond to this offer. Summers can be hard, a lot of people are vacationing or concentrating on a lot of other things in June and July. We make theater to be seen, and we're trying to make every effort to have it seen by as many people as possible."

Along those same lines, this upcoming 2010-11 season features tickets that have not gone up in price for the fourth straight year. "It's difficult, with money disappearing for not-for-profits from government, business and private sources, and the rising costs of just about everything to not respond by raising your prices. We know how hard it is though for most people right now, and we'd rather do more with less and have more butts in seats for the time being and cross our fingers that when the economy gets better that people will remember that," Jenkins adds.

The Early Bird price on season tickets is $102.90 per person, plus a $10 handling fee per order (whether you buy one season ticket or 100). For two people, it works out to less than $18 per person per show, inclusive of all fees - a great bargain. For fans that regularly attend Jobsite performances, it's almost the same as seeing two plays for free over the course of the year. As of Aug. 1, the price changes to the standard $117.60 per person.

Season ticket holders enjoy numerous benefits like a flexible exchange policy, discounts on additional tickets, guaranteed seating and free entry into all Job-side productions and staged readings.

The offer will not be held over past July 31. Season tickets will be on sale through all performances of Dog Sees God at the standard rate ($117.60), not the Early Bird rate ($102.90). To order or learn more about season tickets, visit Jobsite's website or call 813.229.7827.

HUGE savings expire Friday!

Happy Independence Day (observed), everyone!

There's less than a week left to take advantage of huge savings on 2010-11 season tickets. Right now with early bird pricing you can get season tickets for two people for less than $18 per person, per show - all inclusive of fees. If you attend our shows regularly, that's like getting two whole shows for free over the course of the year.

Of course there are tons of other benefits of being a season ticket holder in addition to saved money. Something comes up and you need to move your tickets to another night? We got you covered. Get in to ALL Job-side Projects absolutely free. Your seats are also guaranteed all year to shows that often sell out in advance. No more worrying! Want to bring friends with you? You can purchase additional tickets at a discount.

You're also doing a great thing to support your friendly neighborhood theater company. Season tickets give us stability. They allow us to concentrate our time and money on making great theater, not on spending additional money advertising or additional time in trying to drum up support.

We've tried to make this as win-win as possible, and we hope you can act by the deadline for these early bird savings, which last through Friday, July 9. As of July 10, the early bird pricing expires and season tickets will go to the standard 20% discount.

As an additional bonus, take a picture with your season tickets and email it to us at tickets@jobsitetheater.org by the end of July and we will give you a free cast recording of Pericles: Prince of Tires (while supplies last).

The biggest reason to subscribe isn't the savings, the benefits or the bribes - right? It's the shows. Well, we're extremely proud of this coming season and we think you'll be excited, too.

The innovative and imaginative Einstein's Dreams kicks of our season in Septmeber, based on the international best-seller by Alan Lightman and adapted by David Gardiner and Ralf Remshardt under the direction of Kari Goetz with choreography by Katrina Stevenson. I will be directing Anthony Horowitz's adaptation of his Hammer-esque psychological thriller, Mindgame, another in our long line of special treats for Halloween. We offer up our very first Neil Simon play with The Odd Couple in February, followed by the Pulitzer finalist Yellowman directed by Karla Hartley and starring Fanni Green in March. In May we give you Neil Labute's award-winning reasons to be pretty, followed by modern-dress commedia-infused production of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew in July. Wow!

For the fourth straight year we not raising prices while we continue to up our production values and overall quality of our work due increased ticket sales and the generous contributions of people just like you.

Go here to learn more about season tickets, you can even print out an order form from home to send in, or just call the Straz Center Ticket Office (813.229.7827) during business hours to order by phone.

We sincerely hope you can join us for what looks to be our best season yet!
