I know you've heard me rave about Jobsite before, but this play is a MUST see!! – Mayra Calo
BRAVO!!! The play was masterfully directed, the actors were great, and the script is now my favorite Mamet – did not feel like a play at all. – Mariaelena Bartesaghi
Fantastic show! Loved every minute of it! – Joey Weeks
Enjoyed Jobsite Theater's Race last night. The actors were fabulous, awesome set and really makes you think. Go check this out. – Kim Smallheer
RACE was AWESOME! Those dudes can put on a killer show. Go watch it! – Rhapsody Drehs
As anticipated, RACE last night was thought-provoking and witty. The show moves, too. Although I would have gladly stayed for a longer evening of such compelling drama, I always appreciate when a play leaves me eager to ponder the ideas it presented, instead of exhausted from struggling to endure hours of prolonged posturing without a premise. – Susan Stone-Lawrence
Easily one of the best Jobsite productions I've seen in a long time. Well f-ing done! – Shawn Paonessa
Went to see David Mamet's Race at Jobsite Theater today. Highly recommend it if you have a chance to go. The post show discussion was thought provoking, I may have to blog about it after I let it settle in a bit. – Kristin Lohr
Fantastic show! Loved every minute of it! Great job cast and crew of Race! – Joey Weeks
Really great show. One of the best I've seen at Jobsite. Congrats to everyone involved. – Kerry Glamsch
Truly great theater is happening at The Straz's Shimberg theater, Jobsite's production of David Mamet's Race. Thought provoking and in your face! See this! – Beth Hood
Do not miss this play. I was so impressed with the characters and the impact this play had on me and the audience. – Jenny Lind Olin
Go see Race, it runs two more weeks. It is one of Jobsite's top productions, ascending to the heights of Embedded and The Goat. Also their best production of a Mamet play." – David Hood
Congratulations, Jobsite! The cast did a remarkable job of presenting this complicated play. Thanks for your contest, but mostly, thank you for presenting a play which asks questions about the state of racial relationships in America without preachiness or simple answers. A great night of theater. – Rick Stutzel

Jobsite's Race play is a conversation starter – Tampa Tribune
Reviews
"Jobsite Theater does a fine job keeping pace with David Mamet's latest brain-buster ... the dialogue is armed and dangerous." – Tampa Tribune
"a postmodern, stimulating dramatic riff ... Race shows the master on his best behavior again: shocking, obscene, but all in the service of a true vision. If you follow the play attentively, you'll find yourself on one wild, at times thrilling ride." – Creative Loafing
"Jobsite never fails to deliver thought-provoking, intense entertainment." – Found Randomly
"an enthralling production." – Tampa Bay Times
