go see blackbird
David Jenkins and the gang at Jobsite Theater would like for you to go see BLACKBIRD:
Subject: A plea from your friends at Jobsite
Sorry for the intrusion, we don’t like to send too any direct messages to the group members, but we were hoping you could help us out with the remaining performances of Blackbird.
We’re reaching out because, simply put, we need stronger support for this incredible show that is kicking off our 10th season. The show is more than worthy.
The performances in this show are as solid as they come on any stage. It’s a compact, powerful 90 minutes that is alternately engaging and repelling but that is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat and will certainly make you THINK far after you’ve left the theater. Don’t just take my word for it:
“Aside from the power of Harrower’s naturalistic dialogue — at times obviously influenced by David Mamet — and the heartfelt depth of the two performances, what’s most impressive about Blackbird is its moral ambiguity … [it] offers its audience a host of uncomfortable questions, and ends intriguingly without answering any of them. So its power endures, and even grows, after you’ve left the theater and started to think about what you’ve seen and heard.” - St. Pete Times
If you’ve seen the show already - we thank you. Would it be too much to ask you to try to refer a few friends to us? Word of mouth is the most solid form of advertising there is.
If you haven’t been out, we sure hope you can make an effort over these last 7 shows. We play through Sept. 28.
There are special $10 rush tickets to any show if you are a senior, student or member of the military as of 30 minutes to curtain.

Reviews:
- “… the superlative acting elevated the subject matter to a shameful level of enjoyment … Eason and Potenza spun gold from the detritus of their characters’ lives. Slogging through the muck of abuse, their performances were riveting.” – The Tampa Tribune
- “… tense, emotionally supercharged drama is excellently acted by Paul J. Potenza and Caitlin Eason, potently directed by Karla Hartley, perfectly situated by set designer Scott Cooper … the performances are deeply impressive … I can recommend Blackbird to anyone who appreciates the art of performance.” – Creative Loafing
- “[Blackbird] offers its audience a host of uncomfortable questions, and ends intriguingly without answering any of them. So its power endures, and even grows, after you’ve left the theater and started to think about what you’ve seen and heard.” – St. Petersburg Times
