What It's About
Have you ever been caught in an earthquake? A chance meeting. A dive bar. Some encounters are so dangerous and so beautiful, they redefine the meaning of love. Follow two desperate people in the Bronx, Danny and Roberta, as they walk the line between destruction and transcendence.
As their initial reserve upon meeting begins to melt and they decide to spend the night together, the possibility of a genuine and meaningful relationship begins to emerge — the first for both of them.
The successful 2023 Broadway revival starred Aubrey Plaza and Christopher Abbot and earned two Drama League and three Lucille Lortel nominations. The original production starred John Turturro and June Stein.
…the play is the equivalent of sitting at ringside watching a prize fight that concludes in a loving embrace. – New York Times
A dark and dirty riposte to meet-cute Hollywood romances about lovable losers finding each other. – Variety
A fascinating early expression of the playwright’s torridly operatic style ... a worthy, moving work that deserves this reappraisal. – The Guardian
Critic Reviews
a visceral pas de deux – St. Pete Catalyst
despite the raw, palpable frustration with life on display, one can still hold onto the hope that these two individuals—who could stand in for so many people living in the big city—might just find each other and discover a chance for change ... it is well worth seeing! – Kulturspiegel, German Radio Show

Patron Reviews
This is just Georgia Mallory Guy’s world and we are just living in it. Poor Danny, she chews him up and spits him out … what a pair. Absolutely and consistently blown away by the talent we have in this area. Congrats to Summer Bohnenkamp, David Jenkins, and the rest of the Jobsite crew — a true stunner. – David Valdez
Super strong acting. Fantastic performance! Glad we could be a part of their first audience! – Belinda Zientek
We really enjoyed the show last night! – Robin Elting
Excellent show – Pamela Surovich
A return to classic Jobsite – David Hood
Absolutely f*cking fantastic! Wow! – Meliá Lorenz
We loved Danny and the Deep Blue Sea tonight! Go see local theatre! Check out Jobsite and get the season pass! So worth it! 
– Angela Dribusch
What amazing performances. I am in awe of actors who can bring life to such deeply flawed characters, and practically force us to care about them. And then do it again four to five shows a week. Bravo. – Bill Harting
I pretty much sat in stunned silence for 80 minutes. It passed in a blink. As I was walking out, one of the ushers asked if I “enjoyed the show.” I thought about that. A lot. This isn’t the kind of show you “enjoy,” but it is the kind of show that stays with you, haunts you. It’s a show that leaves more questions than resolutions, something you’ll puzzle over during the drive home, then again over dinner…. This isn’t a big production with moving sets and musical numbers. There are only 2 characters, in this case played by 2 tremendous actors, unless you count a bowl of bar pretzels…. I loved it. I hated it. I loved it. I don’t know…. You should go. – Amanda DeCort
