THE SHARK IS BROKEN

Fifty years ago this summer, JAWS was released in theaters across the country. It became a 'box office smash' and made Steven Spielberg a household name.

This “bitingly funny” comedy centers on the making of the blockbuster film JAWS.

The first summer blockbuster movie is being filmed—but no one working on the film would know it. Dive deep into the tumultuous, murky waters of the making of a major motion picture with testy, feuding costars, unpredictable weather, and a shark prop whose constant breakdowns are looking like an omen for the future of the movie.

In this "hilariously brilliant" play co-written by Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon, the short tempers of Jaws stars Robert Shaw (father of co-writer Ian) played by Darriel Herron, Richard Dreyfuss played by Ben Soelberg, and Roy Scheider played by Perrin Swanson take center stage as they bond, argue, drink, gamble, and pray for an end to the shoot, not knowing it will change their lives forever.
