The Year in Review
Jobsite Theater has finished the 2006-07 season once again in top form. Final numbers for the season show 7% growth in overall mainstage attendance and a 33% boom in mainstage gross receipts (making this the first year we topped the $100k mark in ticket sales) – all despite an unforeseeable cancellation of the final show in our season.
Jobsite attracted over 7,000 patrons to all of our assorted programs – including master classes, workshops, the Jobsite Rocks fundraiser and encore presentations, in addition to our mainstage season.
The Pillowman (named a Top 10 theater production of 2006 by Creative Loafing), The Serpent and the revival weekend of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) all enjoyed sold-out runs.
Creative Loafing has now chosen Jobsite as Best Theater Company three of the past four years – '04, '06 and '07. Along with their Critic's Choice Best of the Bay Awards, we were also once again a finalist in the Reader's Poll for Best Theater Company.
Jobsite Rocks IV on Sept. 16 brought in a record sum of money, essentially wiping clean the debt created in the wake of the Hurlyburly cancellation. Jobsite almost doubled our typical take on the night.
