While some theaters draw in the crowds for Christmas, Jobsite is — in the words of one of the company’s artistic associates, Spencer Meyers — “those kids. Halloween is our holiday.” This year, they’re staging Edgar & Emily — wherein Edgar Allan Poe comes back from the dead to visit with Emily Dickinson.

Edgar & Emily | Jobsite Theater at the Straz Center, 1010 N. WC MacInnes Place, Tampa | Oct. 10-11: 8 p.m. preview, $18; Oct. 12-Nov. 4: Thurs.-Sat., 8 p.m.; Sun., 4 p.m. $29.50 and up | jobsitetheater.org
