The Shark is Broken
2026-04-23 19:30 - 21:00, 2026-04-24 19:30 - 21:00, 2026-04-25 19:30 - 21:00 | Stage West Studio, 300 Sheyenne Street, West Fargo, North Dakota, 58078
A comedic, behind-the-scenes look into the making of Jaws written by Joseph Nixon and Ian Shaw.
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. The short tempers and short circuits of Jaws stars Robert Shaw, 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.
The Shark is Broken contains depictions of alcohol and smoking, and includes some strong language and mild adult themes.
Performed at: Stage West Studio (300 Sheyenne St Suite 120, West Fargo, ND 58078). General Admission tickets; first-come, first-served seating.
