We’re so honored to be among the winners in Creative Loafing Tampa’s Annual Best of the Bay Awards!
Best Actress, Critics’ Pick: Nicole Jeannine Smith.
“It may be the tilt of her head or the way her jaw juts in a gender bent role. Or maybe just an unexpected inflection that causes your ear to hear a word in a new context. In a small space, you can see behind her eyes, where the wheels of character turn. There’s complete commitment even when a role that the audience identifies with turns out to be less than admirable. No matter what Ms. Smith tackles, she imbues every character with a spark of life, yet it seems effortless. You never, ever, feel that she’s performing.”Best Gesamtkunstwerk, Critics’ Pick: David Jenkins, et al, ‘Arturo Ui’
“[Jobsite] mounted a very funny, fast-as-the-wind production—100 minutes without intermission. Director David Jenkins’ clear, inspired vision for the material galvanized a miraculous design team of Brian Smallhear (scenery), Jo Averill-Snell (lighting), Katrina Stevenson (costumes), and Jeremy Douglass (sound) into perfect synchronicity. The staging was simple and fluid, but always striking. Everyone deserves a tip of the hat for attention to detail, with Douglass, particularly, creating consistently unsettling atmospheric underscoring that’s unusual in the theater.”
