Jobsite is an ensemble-based 501(c)(3) non-profit professional theater company that has served the Tampa Bay area since 1998. We are the official resident theater company of the David A. Straz, Jr. Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Tampa, FL.
Jobsite has become a vital regional presence through professionally-produced, daring and unique programming; by nurturing regional talent through our Ensemble Program; and by our unique position in the market and our city’s creative class.
An historical area of emphasis has been the creation of new work and re-exploration of known texts. The 2023-24 season marks the 25th year we’ve dedicated a mainstage production to a non-published play.
Jobsite is committed to community engagement on multiple fronts. We provide weekday matinees and in-class outreach opportunities to middle and high schools, and also regularly work with colleges across five counties. We frequently partner with community organizations to host public forums, bringing people together in dialogue on a range of topics. We offer free and reduced-cost access to a number of groups within our community: LMI populations, students, persons 65+, as well as members of the military, veterans, and their families.
Jobsite began in 1998 with its first production, a double-bill performed in the intimate Silver Meteor Gallery in Ybor City. Stunned by the critical-acclaim and community support, they began to plan a full season and organize as a company (learn where our name comes from).
Since then, Jobsite has consistently earned high praise including over six dozen Best of the Bay awards from Creative Loafing including Best Theater Company (2004, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2015, 2019), Best Artistic Direction (2008, 2013), Best Costumes, Best Set Design, Best Hilarious Theater Production, Most Impassioned Theater Fans, Best Theater Rockers, Best Play, Best Director and Best Actor/Actress. We are regularly honored in the BroadwayWorld.com Regional Awards as well as the Theatre Tampa Bay Awards. For the past three years readers of the Tampa Bay Times have selected us as Best Theater Company in their annual Best of the Best poll.
In 2008 we were awarded the Urban Excellence Award from the Downtown Tampa Partnership. In 2014 Jobsite Theater was honored to be among the finalists for the prestigious American Theatre Wing National Theatre Company Award, an honor unique to Jobsite among central Florida theater companies. Jobsite is a four-time finalist for the NEA’s Shakespeare in American Communities Award.
Jobsite has continued to produce innovative professional theater while attracting tens of thousands of theatergoers into the urban core of downtown Tampa.
Jobsite is a member of Theater Communications Group, the Network of Ensemble Theaters, and was a founding member of Theatre Tampa Bay.
