The Shark Is Broken by Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon. The first summer blockbuster movie is being filmed, but no one working on the movie 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. The short tempers of Jaws stars Robert Shaw (father of co-writer Ian), Richard Dreyfuss, and Roy Scheider 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. Presented by Big Dawg Productions in the Ruth and Bucky Stein Theatre.
