VENUE
*NEW* The Youngstown Playhouse Downtown *NEW*
EVENT INFORMATION
A Play by Ian Shawy & Joseph Nixon
Directed by: Brendan Boyle
Fade in: the open ocean, 1974. Filming is delayed...again. The lead actors--theatre veteran Robert Shaw and young Hollywood hotshots Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider--are crammed into a too-samll boat, entirely at the mercy of foul weather and a faulty mechanical co-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. Step aboard the Orca and into a profound dive behind the scenes of the making of Jaws.
This event is eligible for Flex Pass redemption. Single ticket prices for The Youngstown Playhouse downtown do not include processing fees. ALL SALES FINAL - No refunds, no exchanges. The Experience Your Arts box office staff are available weekdays, 10am-5pm for phone or in person sales. Please contact the box office at 330-259-9651 for more information.
