OUR BIG BOX SEASON IS BACK!

Set during the famously troubled 1974 shoot of Jaws, The Shark Is Broken depicts the film’s three stars, Robert Shaw, Roy Scheider, and Richard Dreyfuss, stranded at sea—battling not just a shark, but also each other. Written by Ian Shaw (Robert Shaw’s son) and Joseph Nixon, the play mixes comedy, tension, and Hollywood-level egos aboard one iconic boat in this fresh-off-Broadway drama.

Get your tickets to the Iowa premiere of The Shark is Broken, presented July 17th - August 3rd at the Imon Stage at Kingston Yard in downtown Cedar Rapids. Tickets are on sale now so don't miss your chance to see this groundbreaking production for the first time in Iowa!
