Fans of theatre, rejoice! The New Prospect Theatre presents The Shark is Broken from Friday, Sep. 19 to Sunday, Sep. 28.
The Shark is Broken is a comedy that takes you behind the scenes of the making of Jaws. Actors will portray the stars of the film as they grapple with the arduous filming schedule by arguing, drinking and gambling. Of course, Jaws went on to become a massive hit and is known as the first summer Blockbuster.
