Job-side Productions

The Job-side Project umbrella has grown (which we love!) to now include Job-side Staged Readings and Job-side Productions.

Job-side Productions are fully produced evenings from members of the Jobsite Ensemble that occur late nights or off-nights in the theater when the mainstage production does not need the space.

Jobsite has hosted events of this type in the form of an evening of short plays (Short Comings), a one-woman show (See Bob Run), a full one-act play (The House of Yes) and even stand-up comedy (LOL: An evening with Mr. FunnyBlackman).

Any Jobsite Ensemble member may petition the Producing Artistic Director for a slot, and determinations are made on an ongoing basis. Jobsite provides the space, technical support in the form of loans from scenic, costume and prop stock and offers basic marketing support to the artist. This is an excellent opportunity for ensemble members to stretch or showcase their talents or further develop their craft.

"On the Way to O'Neill's: JFK in Ireland" is an alternate history play that imagines the later life of former President John F. Kennedy, who survived that fateful day in November 1963 but lost both his wife and the Presidency. The year is 1999 and Kennedy, now 82 years of age, has come to Wexford, Ireland to mourn the recent death of his son. His reverie is interrupted by an interview request from Gemma O'Leary, a local newspaper reporter with a voice eerily similar to Kennedy’s late wife Jackie. Somewhat shaken, he agrees to a meeting with Gemma, who helps him make sense of both his life and the losses he's suffered. Meanwhile, a remarkable parallel to the Cuban Missile Crisis is occurring on the other side of the globe, and once again, Kennedy’s diplomacy is required.
