Romeo
& Juliet opening postponement
In
response to ongoing health and safety concerns, Jobsite is postponing
the opening of Romeo & Juliet by a week. Previews
planned for Jan. 12-13 will be moved to Jan. 19-20, and opening
night will be moved from Jan. 14 to Jan. 21. The show
will continue through the originally-planned closing date of
Feb. 6.
Anyone holding a ticket to performances Jan. 12-16 will be contacted
by the Straz Box Office about moving to another date. As the
first professional theater in the region — and one of the first
in the nation — to return to live performances, the health and
safety of our cast, crew, and audience remain our top priority.
"No one in this region "Rocks the Bard" as hard, as relevant,
and as daring as Jobsite and their players."

From
historic feud to ill-fated union, Romeo & Juliet
is sadly as timely today as when it first took the stage in
1595. Verona is sick. Its structures broken and citizens hopelessly
divided. Amidst the violence, bloodshed, fear, and unrest, two
teenagers find unexpected relief in one another. But can love
overcome a society's sickness? Join Jobsite for this potent
tragedy in January in a production set against the backdrop
of the 1980s. Directed by Producing Artistic Director David
M. Jenkins and featuring another blazing original score by our
award-winning composer Jeremy Douglass, weekday field trip matinees
for middle and high schools are available in addition to standard
public performances.
