The first summer blockbuster movie is being filmed—but no one working on the film would know it. Dive deep into the tumultuous, murky waters of the making of a major motion picture Jaws with testy, feuding costars, unpredictable weather, and a shark prop whose constant breakdowns are looking like an omen for the future of the movie. In this comedy co-written by Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon, the short tempers of Jaws stars Robert Shaw (father of co-writer Ian), Richard Dreyfuss, and Roy Scheider take center stage as they bond, argue, drink, gamble, and pray for an end to the shoot, not knowing it will change their lives forever. Some strong language.

Get ready to rock as The Encore celebrates the legendary sound of Queen. With electrifying vocals, a powerhouse band, and all the theatrical flair you’d expect, this tribute brings iconic hits like “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Somebody to Love,” and “We Will Rock You” to life. Bold, high-energy, and unforgettable—this is Queen as it was meant to be experienced.
