The Shark is Broken

The Shark is Broken

Step aboard the Orca with theatre veteran Robert Shaw and young hotshot actors Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Schneider as egos collide at the mercy of foul weather and a faulty mechanical co-star. This hysterical comedy celebrates movie history and peeks at the choppy waters behind Hollywood’s first blockbuster.

Described as a drama with laugh lines, this show runs 90 minutes with no intermission. Sensory-friendly performances will be presented on Saturday afternoons. Please see our website for more information about what modifications will be made, and what accommodations will be available.

Unless otherwise noted in production information, standard show times are: Thursdays 7:00PM - Fridays & Saturdays 8:00PM - Sundays 2:00PM*

*We share our parking lot with I5 Science Center. Please plan accordingly and arrive early for matinees since I5 is open. Additional parking is available on Michigan Ave. and the Lansing Center parking garage.
