Jobsite's Night of the Living Dead was absolutely fabulous! I can't say enough good things about this production. The makeup, special effects, lighting, stage, acting and directing were all great.

Man, I loved NOTLD. I brought some friends and they loved it too. Small theatre is underrated. All the plays that I have seen at Jobsite (and the list is getting long) are really good.
