What is it?

The Shark is Broken runs October 16 through November 14 at Broadway Palm’s Off Broadway Theatre. Set during the troubled 1974 production of Jaws, the comedy imagines three actors stuck on a boat while the mechanical shark fails and the schedule falls apart. The production is recommended for mature audiences.
