Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike has two more performances than expected. Jobsite's David Jenkins explains the additional week:

"Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike is the first play since our 2001 production of Steven Dietz's Dracula to be held for a fifth week in the Shimberg Playhouse," Jenkins says. "Jobsite Theater added performances after an almost completely sold-out opening week and an unprecedented six glowing reviews from regional newspapers and entertainment blogs. Several Jobsite stalwarts had a hand in both productions: Paul Potenza, Brian Shea, David Jenkins, and Brian Smallheer."

The final performances run this weekend — Friday and Saturday — at 8 p.m. Read Mark Leib's review of the show for ticket information.
