Not very often does a piece of theatre come along that is truly cathartic, visceral and downright unnerving, but humbling as well. Summer Bohenenkamp's direction of Nick Payne's cathartic masterpiece Constellations does just that. The perfect closer to an unforgettable season at Jobsite Theater, the resident theatre company at the Shimberg Playhouse at the Straz Center. This show truly embraces everything Jobsite is about and in my honest opinion is the show of the Season! For a piece of work as visceral as this to unearth emotions deep inside and show a true honest take at the human emotion deeply resounded in a relationship, makes for an unwavering and unforgettable 85 minutes.

Jobsite Theater went into their 20th anniversary season with the tagline ad astra per aspera through hardships to the stars. It turned out to be a prescient statement as the company now celebrates their most successful season to date after smash hits like revivals of Hedwig and the Angry Inch and The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] as well as their new #1 best-seller, Othello. Join the resident theater company of the Straz Center Jul. 12 Aug. 6 as they conclude this 20th season among the stars with Nick Payne's unique love story, Constellations.

A look back at the very best local productions that 2017 had to offer.

It's the most fun I've had at the theater since...well, since the last Annie Baker play I've seen.

WINNER: 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, 2013 Obie Award for Playwrighting, 2013 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Play, 2013 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Play, 2013 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.

Averill-Snell's performance is dizzying in its brilliant unpredictability. The show is, too.

Jobsite Theater, resident theater company of the Straz Center, is excited to once again collaborate with internationally-renown playwright, poet, and film-maker Israel Horovitz on his play Gloucester Blue, which runs May 19 - June 11, 2017, in the Straz's Shimberg Playhouse.

Gatsby? What Gatsby? When you hear this charming protagonist's name, what images flash through your head?  Lavish parties dripping with elegance?  An atmosphere of abandoned care filled to the ceiling with social climbers?  Pearls, fringe, and feathers that drape over the silhouettes of dancing women?  Smoke and mirrors that orchestrate a timeless vortex of pure magic?  'The Great Gatsby' has extended beyond the realm of high school reading curriculum, and has become an iconic entity synonymous with the 1920's.  The 1925 novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald has inspired certain adaptations including ballets, television episodes of popular shows, computer games, and most famously the 2013 film adaptation starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, and Tobey Maguire.  The Orlando Shakepeare Theater continues this legacy with their production of the stage adaptation by Simon Levy which opened on February 8th.
