Photo Flash: First Look at Jobsite Theater's TIME STANDS STILL

Jobsite closes their 2015-16 season with a timely drama from a modern master of the American theater: Donald Margulies' Time Stands Still plays July 8-31, 2016, in the Shimberg Playhouse at the Straz Center where Jobsite is resident theater company. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

From Pulitzer Prize-winner Donald Margulies (Dinner with Friends, Shipwrecked! An Entertainment, Sight Unseen, The Model Apartment) comes a moving and often hilarious story of morality, relationships, mid-life crises, and the bonds of friendship. Widely hailed as one of the best Broadway plays of the past ten years, Time Stands Still tells the story of James and Sarah, a journalist and a photographer, who have been together for nine years and share a passion for documenting the realities of war. After barely surviving a bomb blast in Iraq that has left her scarred, Sarah, a photojournalist, finds herself caught in a tug-of-war between her exhilarating career and the contentment of domestic life. Returning home into the care of her long-time boyfriend James (whose scars are psychological), Sarah is caught off guard by his desire for the simple family life pursued by Richard, their editor, and his much younger girlfriend Mandy. Time Stands Still is a blazingly important new work about responsibility -- to ourselves, to our loved ones, to our community, and to our world.

Jobsite's production features Joanna Sycz (Sarah), David M. Jenkins (James), Brian Shea(Richard), and Maggie Mularz (Mandy). The play is directed by Summer Bohnenkamp (co-director of last year's acclaimedAnnapurna) with designs by Brian Smallheer (set and lights),Katrina Stevenson (costumes), and David Jenkins (sound).
