The Shark is Broken


All aboard the Orca! The Shark is Broken celebrates movie

history in this behind the scenes exploration of Hollywood’s first

summer blockbuster. Notoriously unreliable, the mechanical prop shark in Jaws holds Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider

trapped on a boat that is much too small to contain their egos and

tempers as they attempt to keep this movie magic afloat.

Described as a drama with laugh lines, this show runs 90 minutes with no intermission.

Re-Mixed Casserole


Lansing "favorites" return to the Riverwalk stage after eleven years for a sequel of miscast musical numbers. Kyle and Kayla Harwood,

Tigi Habtemariam, Joe Quick, Kelly Stuible-Clark, and Tony Sump are

joined by John Dillingham and Kait Wilson on keys and Aaron Bender drums, for an evening of unforgettable renditions of their favorite numbers-

favorites they'll never play on stage.

This event is a fundraiser for

Riverwalk Theatre, and all proceeds go right back to the theatre we love

so much.
