Book by Stephen King Music & lyrics by John Mellencamp Oct. 15 – Nov. 9, 2025 Shimberg Playhouse, Straz Center Jobsite’s Halloween streak remains undefeated! A blues-inflected country score by legend John Mellencamp and a claustrophobic, refractured parable from the master of thriller Stephen King combine to create the spooky, cautionary tale of Ghost Brothers of Darkland County. A shadowy figure known only as The Troubadour introduces the audience to an eerie cabin in the woods where a young couple come across its caretaker who reveals to them an almost Biblically violent story that took place in that very house. It’s about a set of brothers who are in love with the same woman and the ensuing rivalry that sparks between them. The young couple hearing this tale realize that this cabin’s past is certainly like their present. When the young man’s brother shows up to stake a claim for the woman he loves, will they repeat the sins of the past — especially if it means staying alive? Jobsite is proud to offer the Florida premiere of this work using new orchestrations approved by the creators — just in time for Spooky Season!
