The Shark is Broken

Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jaws at Duluth Playhouse’s The Shark is Broken, a must-see for film buffs and theatre lovers alike, running October 16 – November 2. It’s 1974. The ocean’s wild. The film is over budget. And the mechanical shark… refuses to cooperate. This wickedly funny and unexpectedly moving comedy traps audiences aboard the Orca with Richard Dreyfuss, Roy Scheider, and Robert Shaw as tempers flare and egos clash. Between the long days and endless waiting, the three men drink, gamble, argue, and pray for an end to the shoot, not knowing it will change their lives forever.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

Don’t lose your head! This Halloween season, the Headless Horseman gallops onto the NorShor stage in a thrilling, ensemble-driven adaptation of Washington Irving’s haunting tale! In the seemingly quiet village of Sleepy Hollow, ghost stories swirl, lanterns flicker, and something terrifying waits in the woods. When the awkward but earnest Ichabod Crane competes for the heart of the beautiful Katrina Van Tassel, local rivalries ignite, and the legend of a headless Hessian soldier looms ever larger. Perfect for fans of crisp autumn nights and a good scare, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a family-friendly, crowd-pleasing theatrical event you won’t want to miss.

Million Dollar Quartet

The iconic jukebox musical Million Dollar Quartet is guaranteed to blow the roof off the NorShor Theatre! On December 4, 1956, an extraordinary twist of fate brought Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley together at Sun Records in Memphis for one of the greatest jam sessions ever. Million Dollar Quartet brings that legendary night to life with an irresistible tale of broken promises, secrets, and celebrations. Relive the era with an incredible score of rock ‘n’ roll, gospel, R&B and country hits: “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “Walk the Line,” “Sixteen Tons,” “Who Do You Love?,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Hound Dog,” and many more — performed live on stage!
