Well, it looks like we've done it again. The 2005-2006 season was another record-breaker for Jobsite Theater. Our 05-06 mainstage attendance was up 2% from last year. Ok, we know that doesn't seem significant on its own, but when you combine that with the 53% attendance explosion that we had in 04-05 – it shows we've not only retained that more-than-doubled audience base from last season, we've still managed to grow on it. Jobsite is very proud of our consistency and our growth – however incremental. We recognize that often such windfall success like we had last year is difficult to maintain, and we're determined to continue that growth this coming season.

Early signs are certainly pointing in a positive direction. Season ticket sales for 2006-07 are already up 30% from last season's final numbers, with over a month and a half left in our season ticket campaign. Single tickets for our season opener, The Pillowman, are flying away at the fastest rate for any season opener with close to 80% of all opening weekend tickets accounted for a month out from opening. Do you have your season tickets yet? Better hurry.
The success of Jobsite is dependant on continued support from our community. What we do on stage is completely insignificant without an audience. It's not even possible without support from sponsors like Creative Loafing and Bright House Networks, or without the support of businesses that donate to our raffles. We just wouldn't be the same without the bands who've donated their time to play Jobsite Rocks! events, or without the sweat of the dozens of local artists who work on our shows. Jobsite walks on the shoulders of giants, and we'd like to take this opportunity to share some of our successes with those who have in one way or another made it all possible. |
