Just about all literature lovers love Edward Gorey. His ominously amusing sendups of death, insanity and depravity definitely inspired the clever braintrust behind Tampa’s Jobsite Theater. The company has stoked its Halloween cauldron and is throwing in a new recipe of the theatrical ode Gorey Stories. Jobsite staged the musical with book by Stephen Currens and tunes by David Aldrich, in 2007. The 2012 revamp should dazzle with new costuming and makeup cues by Katrina Stevenson, an all new set by award-winning tech designer Brian Smallheer, props, video projections and puppets (!). Plus a three-piece band performs an encore mini-concert of Gorey-inspired tunes by the Tiger Lillies. Gorey, incidentally, shared a box of unpublished stories with the band before he died. In Jobsite’s retooling, David Jenkins directs actors Summer Bohnenkamp, Katrina Stevenson, Jason Evans, Amy Gray, Michael C. McGreevy and Spencer Meyers. —Julie Garisto
