Reviews

"... the cast is dedicated and full-force ... fun, raucous, and involved. ..." - What Ya Gonna Do? Theatre Edition

"A highly talented ensemble cast ... The Taming of the Shrew a wonderful night of theatre. Even if you fell asleep while reading Romeo and Juliet in freshmen English, Jobsite has a way to entertain everyone who comes to see the show." - OnStageTampa

" ... quick-witted and engaging ... [Katrina Stevenson's] performance proved Jenkins' point of equality between the sexes ... This production conveyed an everyman's humor and a sound understanding of the playwright's intent." - The Tampa Tribune

"... amped up and irreverent without being disrespectful ... every member of the nine-person cast (mostly Jobsite regulars) has truly great moments, and the physical comedy is spot-on throughout." - The St. Pete Times

Run-time:115 minutes with intermission
