Jobsite Rocks!
Sat., Dec. 3, 2022
VIP reception – 7:00 pm
General Admission doors – 8:30 pm
Show – 9:00 pm
New World Brewery Music Hall
Since the theaters were first shut down in March of 2020, we’ve lost over $750,000 in revenue. At the same time, costs to produce live theater have risen astronomically at every level of operation — set and costume materials, COVID mitigation — and audiences have not returned to pre-pandemic levels. All of this combined has meant the box office can’t cover our costs — forcing us to burn through our reserves. Even a wild success like Dracula still does not wipe the losses from 2022. This will be an ongoing recovery.
Tue., Nov. 29 is #GivingTuesday, a world-wide day of online giving, and that weekend, Sat., Dec. 3, we will bring back our signature Jobsite Rocks! event for the first time since 2019. We hope that fans will participate in one or both events that week, and share our story with your friends and associates.
As of Nov. 20, we are 65% to our 2022 Annual Campaign goal of $100,000. Between #GivingTuesday and Jobsite Rocks!, we hope to close this gap out. All funds raised provide security going into 2023 and beyond, helping us not only bridge the gap at the box office but allowing us to guarantee artist salaries and hopefully take more qualified risks in our programming moving ahead.
If you donate on #GivingTuesday, Tue., Nov. 29, the first $12,500 will be matched dollar for dollar thanks to a grant from Gobioff Foundation and contributions from our board.
Can we count on you at the end of this year? Every $1 counts.

Silent Auction and Drawings
Because we can’t legally call it a “raffle”.
VIP ticket holders to Jobsite Rocks! on Dec. 3 at New World Brewery Music Hall get first crack at the silent auctions and drawings beginning at 7pm during a private reception inclusive of food and drinks. At 8:30 we open the doors for general admission, and the first drawing happens from the stage at 9pm.
Each silent auction item will go to the highest donor on the item. Tickets for the opportunity drawings will be sold individually or in packs of 10 or 25, and you will place your tickets in the specific bins of the items you wish to try to win.
Among the items up for grabs:
- Experience packages courtesy of MOSI, Tampa Theatre, Shuffle, Aerial Dragons, and The Florida Aquarium
- Original art from regional favorites like Spencer Meyers, Calan Ree and Miss Crit
- Custom Jewelry from Design One Jewelers
- Themed gift baskets from business like The Independent, New World Brewery, Seventh Sun, Disco Dolls Studio, Tempus Projects
- Tickets to upcoming Jobsite and Straz shows (don't throw away your shot!)
- Tampa Bay Lightning's Viktor Hedman autographed puck
- And more!

Two ways to show your love!
We have two ticket options available for the Jobsite Rocks! event: one that gives folks access to the VIP event/full evening, the second just gets you entry to the variety show. Rock Stars get free access to the entire event as part of their package.
The VIP begins in the New World Brewery Music Hall at 7pm with a reception inclusive of food and drinks as well as first crack at the silent auction. Doors for the show open at 8:30 when it flips to a cash bar/menu, and the show starts at 9!
THIS IS A COME-AS-YOU-WISH EVENT. THERE IS NO DRESS CODE. DO YOU, FRANDS.
Both tickets are available now using the button to the right.
Watch this space for a full list of our variety show performances and the items available in the auction/drawings!
Is there a separate donation site for Giving day? Or is it just to your
Annual Campaign
I don’t think Jobsite really cares that much about it’s donors. As a Rockstar subscriber, even donating one ticket back to the organization, I haven’t received much “love” back. No shirts, no hoodies, no special events, etc. Reaching out to volunteer or help doesn’t get me anywhere. I am still giving and subscribing, but something will need to give soon. There are other worthy causes around.l
We reached out over email, Don, and hope that we made this right. We appreciate your many years of support.
