Last December, just a few months into Jobsite's 10th anniversary season, I wrote this blog for Creative Loafing about lessons learned trying to run a theater for an entire decade.
We're now just a few days away from the end of this 10th season, and I've had time for further reflection.
We finish the final show of our season, a rousing and hilarious punk rock mob reimagining of the Pericles story, with a video tribute to 10 awesome years in Tampa Bay. From the genesis of the company, represented by a photo of five awkward and rebellious 20-somethings on the loading dock of USF's Theater I, cycling through all of our productions and major milestones, to a staged promotional shot of our dead-sexy board in one of the Carol Morsani Hall dressing rooms, photographed by Steve Widoff.
It moves me every night. Oh, yeah, I've watched every single performance of Pericles — from lights up to lights down — something I've never done before.
