Food Drive and Ticket Discount
Jobsite Theater will host a food drive to benefit the food bank at Metropolitan Ministries for this final weekend of their smash hit Night of the Living Dead. With the holidays right around the corner, Jobsite hopes to help make a difference to Bay area families in need during what’s been for many a very challenging year. Patrons may bring two canned goods or other non-perishable food items within 90 minutes of curtain and receive a $10 ticket to see Night of the Living Dead on 11/12 at 8p, 11/14 at 8pm or 11/15 at 4pm. This offer is not valid on the 11/13 8pm performance. One $10 ticket will be offered per two items donated. Subject to availability. Not valid on prior sales or in conjunction with any other offer. Metropolitan Ministries touches the lives of more than 22,000 households composed of hurting men, women, and children every year by providing food, a safe place to live, and hope for a new future. None of this would be possible without the generous support of the Tampa Bay community. Night of the Living Dead is Jobsite’s best selling production since January’s Picasso at the Lapin Agile and is poised to close as a top five all-time best attended Jobsite Theater production. Originally slated to close Nov.8, the production was extended through Nov. 15 to account for the popular demand.Media
