Fodder & Shine to Sponsor Opening Nights at Jobsite Theater

Jobsite Theater has announced that Seminole Heights hotspot Fodder & Shine will sponsor and host the remaining Jobsite Theater opening night parties in 2015. Fodder & Shine is located just a short hop up either I-275 or Florida Ave. from the Straz Center (5910 N. Florida Ave., 33604).

The full list of opening night parties for the remainder of the year:

May 1: Annapurna

July 10: Occupation

Fodder & Shine is the vision of Greg and Michelle Baker (The Refinery) who have been instrumental in redefining the area as a culinary destination. Fodder & Shine's menu shines a light on Florida cracker heritage, approaching traditional dishes and drinks from Florida's back-woods culture of the early to mid-1900s with a modern twist.

These opening night parties feature great food and drink in a casual and fun setting. Fodder & Shine has a full selection of craft beers, small-batch spirits and fine wines. The playful show-themed menu for the Annapurna party (Fri., May 1 starting at 10:15pm) designed by Chef Eric McHugh includes:

BBQ "Frito" Crusted Mullet Spread Croquettes
Black Eyed Pea & Datil Pepper Spread with Cuban Crostini
Toasted Avocado & Cheddar Sliders with Anchovy-Mustard-Aioli and Shaved Red Onion
"Moon Pie" Trifles

Entry includes the hors d'ouevres buffet and a drink ticket good for a house cocktail, draft, or glass of wine. A cash bar as well as their "In-Between" menu is available in addition for those who wish to keep the party going. These parties will be attended by production cast and crew and invited guests, opening night season ticket holders, corporate partners, and Jobsite Rock Stars. A limited number of tickets to the general public will be made for each party on a first-come basis. For more information or to reserve a spot for Annapurna, please write to info@jobsitetheater.org.
