Full cast and creative team information have been announced for Jobsite Theater’s new production of acclaimed horror writer Clive Barker’s The History of the Devil, to play the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center’s Shimberg Playhouse, October 30-November 16.

The play takes place at the Devil’s parole hearing, with appearances by such figures as Dante, Jesus Christ and Lilith. Jobsite originally produced the play in 1999, and it proved to be the company’s first big hit.

The cast will also include Steve Garland (The Devil), Ami Sallee Corley (Lilith and other roles), Katrina Stevenson (prosecuting attorney Jane Beck), Heather Atkinson (Pia Shim, et al), Summer Bohnenkamp-Jenkins (Verrier), Christopher Rutherford (Belial, et al), Leah LoSchiavo (Isobel Nider, et al), Michael McGreevy (Milo Milo, et al) and Ron Sommer (Judge Felix Popper).

The creative team will include Brian Smallheer (lights and set), Spencer Meyers (costumes), and David M. Jenkins (sound).
