Photo Flash: A SKULL IN CONNEMARA at Jobsite Theater Opens Tomorrow

By:

Jobsite Theater, resident theater company of the Straz Center, completes the pitch-black Irish comedy trilogy set in rural west Ireland just in time for St. Patrick's Day this year with Martin McDonagh's A Skull in Connemara, which runs Mar. 17 - Apr. 9, 2017, in the Straz's Shimberg Playhouse.

Mick Dowd is hired one week a year to disinter the bones in certain sections of the local cemetery in Leenane (a small town in County Galway, west Ireland) to make way for the new arrivals. As the time approaches for him to dig up those of his own late wife, strange rumors surrounding his involvement in her sudden death seven years ago begin to resurface. Populated by misfits and miscreants all digging for the truth, A Skull in Connemara is a blasphemously funny whodunit complete with flying skulls and bloody mallets. Martin McDonagh's plays are undeniable favorites of the Jobsite faithful and the company is thrilled to once again bring his signature dark wit, kooky characters, on-stage mayhem, and crackling dialogue back home.

A Skull in Connemara runs Mar. 17 - Apr. 9, 2017. Tickets start at $28. A season pass for the remaining three Jobsite plays this season is also available for 20% off the price of regular tickets. If available, rush tickets for students, persons 65+, military/veterans and their dependents (Jobsite is a proud Blue Star Families member), Theatre Communications Group and Theatre Tampa Bay members are 50% off as of 30 minutes to curtain with cash and ID at the Straz Box Office window. Opening night on Fri., Mar. 17 includes pre-show treats from Rollin' Oats Tampa and a post-show party at The Refinery. Special preview performances are Mar. 15-16 with all seats just $14. Tickets are available at JobsiteTheater.org, by calling 813.229.7827, or from the Straz Center Box Office.
