Jobsite Theater, Professional theater company in downtown Tampa, United States
Jobsite Theater is a professional theater company based in the Shimberg Playhouse at the Straz Center downtown, featuring performances throughout the year. The 100-seat venue creates an intimate setting where audiences sit close to the stage and performers.
The company started in 1999 at the Silver Meteor Gallery in Ybor City before moving to the Off Center Theater in 2003, which became known as Shimberg Playhouse. This relocation marked a shift toward a larger institutional framework for the expanding ensemble.
The company draws from a pool of about 60 regional performers who shape the character of each production through their collaborative approach to experimental and contemporary works. This rotating ensemble creates a dynamic spirit where actors take on different roles across multiple shows throughout the year.
The theater is located at the Straz Center downtown with parking available through the center's app and nearby facilities in the area. It works well to check what shows are running and plan your visit as part of exploring downtown activities.
The company programs a mix of classical works, contemporary pieces, and experimental productions sometimes happening in the same season. This diversity means each visit offers something different depending on what draws your interest at that moment.
