Press Packet

  Showtimers Community Theatre is pleased to present The Shark is Broken, written by Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon. 

 The historic 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 dueling co-stars, unpredictable weather and a shark prop whose constant breakdowns are looking like an omen for the future of the movie. In this comedic one-act show, the short tempers and short circuits of Jaws stars Robert Shaw (father of the play’s co-author Ian), Richard Dreyfuss, and Roy Scheider take center stage as they bond, argue, drink, gamble and pray for an end to the film shoot, not knowing it will change their lives forever. 

Directed by Corey M. Stewart, the production is supported by Stage Manager Jamie Stewart, Producer Carolyn Watson, along with the collaboration of the production team including Denise Pappas (Properties Design), Stevie Woods, (Set Design), Michael Clark (Sound Design), Liv Johnson (Lighting Design), and Jamie Stewart (Costume Design).
