Robert, Mary and Sam co producers The Jaws Project, June 26 to July 4th 2016

Stephen Spielberg’s Jaws was shot on location at Martha’s Vineyard, MA in 1974.  It was a legendarily disastrous production that resulted in one of the greatest movies of all time and an unprecedented financial success. Devised by Philadelphia theatre artists Robert Daponte, Mary Tuomanen, and Sam Henderson, the Jaws Project is a wicked rude comedy, an unlikely love story, and an unflinching examination of a turning point in American culture.
