Just got back from your most recent production. Really enjoyed it and the cast was great. Everyone did a great job, but is was especially nice to see Steve Garland back. We look forward to seeing the next play and re-subscribing for next season! Keep up the great work – John and Lori Pate
I believe this is the best play I've ever seen at Jobsite ... The show is subtle and real, and just my kind of theater experience ... If you haven't had the chance to see this piece of art, go. It is worth it. – labelleartiste (via Creative Loafing)

Amazing show! Amazing cast! Once again a fantastic performance and a great show! – Mike Corrao
In attendance for the preview. Packed house. Crowd was enthusiastic. Play is a light but thought-provoking look at the way we give meaning to our lives (at least that's my take.) All you need to know is that Steve Garland and Katrina Stevenson are awesome and make the show worth seeing just for their performances. – Anthony Salveggi
Had a great time at Dead Man's Cell Phone and at The Independent afterwards. Folks, do yourself a favor and go see the show. Some wonderful stuff and lots of laughs there! – Caroline Jett
Had a great time last night at Dead Man's Cell Phone, Jobsite Theater. Support the arts and an awesome cast and crew. – Jan Farrell Ray
While eating lunch I ponder; "Who would be on my planet?"... Then go see Jobsite Theater's Dead Man's Cell Phone to understand. Fantastic show by dir. David Jenkins and an amazing cast including: Meg Heimstead, Steve Garland, Michael C. McGreevy, Katrina Stevenson, Summer Bohnenkamp-Jenkins, and Elizabeth Fendrick. Go SEE IT!" – Spencer Meyers

Loved Dead Man's Cell Phone @jobsitetheater funny, poignant, clever. Great acting, directing, set. Next season looks great. Reupped tonite. – Susan Oliver
So worth it, Dead Man's Cell Phone was my fave @jobsitetheater show short of #Pericles. Everyone should go. Mandatory viewings! – laughterkey
Charmingly existential, witty, & smart & 1 of the best monologues I've ever heard! @jobsitetheater 's #DMCP is amazing! – daidaloslost

Do It Today, Theater Edition: Jobsite's Dead Man's Cell Phone – Creative Loafing
Reviews
"A fine production.... Original, unpredictable, poignantly lyrical.... Expect humor, whimsical plot developments, sudden insights and an all-too-justifiable fixation on death. There are several coups-de-theâtre.... The Jobsite team delivers fully with every performance" – Creative Loafing
"The six-person cast, directed by David M. Jenkins, is phenomenal, delivering some of the most uniformly excellent acting you're likely to see on a Tampa stage this year." – St. Petersburg Times
"...an innovative play ... tender yet exasperated, as though [Ruhl's] head-flicking us and asking why we don't do a better job connecting. ...the cast [is] hugely talented, subtle and charming." – Tampa Tribune
