The Comedy of Errors at Jobsite Theater

By William Shakespeare

Adapted and directed by David Jenkins

Featuring an original score by Jeremy Douglass

Jan. 14 – Feb. 8, 2026

Jaeb Theater, Straz Center

A stranger arrives in town only to find that everyone knows their name but thinks they’re someone else. In this fairy tale of a farce believed to be one of the Shakespeare’s earliest, everyday miracles, mistaken identity, and double double (oh what trouble!) vision makes for a brisk evening of laughs!

Set against the backdrop of 1960s beat-era San Francisco, The Comedy of Errors will leave both the Bardophile and Shakespeare novice in stitches. Like, hey, daddy-o — wherefore art thou Dromio?

Jobsite is a six-time finalist for the NEA’s Shakespeare in American Communities Award. “No one ‘Rocks the Bard’ as hard, as daring, or as relevant as Jobsite and their players” – BroadwayWorld.
