Review: THE SHARK IS BROKEN SETS SAIL at JOBSITE THEATER
by Drew Eberhard - Mar 13, 2026

FADE IN: The open ocean, 1974. Filming is delayed...again. The lead actors- theatre and film vet Robert Shaw and up-and-coming Hollywood hotshots Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider- are crammed into a too-small boat, entirely at the mercy of foul weather and a faulty mechanical star. Alcohol flows, egos collide, and tempers flare on a chaotic voyage that just might lead to cinematic magic... if it doesn’t sink them all... Words...pulled directly from Director David Jenkins most recent Facebook post, promoting Jobsite Theater’s most recently launched production of Ian Shaw’s The Shark is Broken.
