Job-side Projects go to Fringe
We're very proud to have had a small hand in helping launch two shows into the NYCFringe Festival this year, Artistic Associate Jonathan Cho's Mr. Yunioshi and Katie Berger and Blake Conley's FULL - The Musical (which we will be fully producing as part of the 2017-18 season). Both were part of the 2015-16 Job-sideseries.

2016-17 season news
First up is the original "wild and crazy guy" Steve Martin's hilarious farce, The Underpants, now in rehearsal and opening Sep. 9. We expect to have promotional photographs by the end of the coming week and will send an advisory as soon as we have them ready.

Casting has been announced and a first-look at our double-axe-murderess-next-door is available for LIZZIE: The Musical -- killer new rock spectacle mentioned in the same breath as Hamilton by the former director of the NEA as "the future of the American musical." LIZZIE is the third Jobsite/Straz co-production in the Jaeb Theater, following the smash-hits SILENCE! The Musical and Return to the Forbidden Planet.
