Richard Dreyfuss News

North Shore Music Theatre will return for an expanded 70th Anniversary Season, including a bonus off-subscription production of the play, THE SHARK IS BROKEN, as well as debut productions of the musicals WAITRESS, RENT, and THE CHER SHOW.

The premise of The Shark is Broken is deceptively simple; three men in a boat, waiting and talking. We meet the cast of a new film in 1974 when Bruce the mechanical shark, necessary for the whole shoot, is indeed broken. Robert Shaw, Roy Scheider, and Richard Dreyfuss would go on to star in the iconic 1975 film Jaws which sparked a lifelong fear of the ocean for many.
