Mirrorbox Theatre - The Shark is Broken
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-small 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.
Tickets available at https://mirrorboxtheatre.com/.

Based out of the greater Des Moines area, Back to Vinyl's setlists contain music from classic 70's arena anthems, hard-hitting 80's hits, and down-home southern rock standards.
