Celebrate 50 years of Jaws with a killer party and a cold can of nostalgia. We’re teaming up with Narragansett Beer to serve classic Gansett Lagers in the original throwback cans—just like the ones Quint crushed. Then we’re hitting the big screen for the movie that started it all. You’re gonna need a bigger beer! With a Gansett in-hand, meet & greet with Shark Historian Keith Cowley and take a trip down “Amity Lane”… snap some photos amongst iconic Jaws visuals in the United Gallery courtesy Living Sharks Museum!
SPECIAL GUEST! Meet author Christopher Myers Shaw, nephew of Jaws actor Robert Shaw, for a signing of his new book entitled Robert Shaw: An Actor’s Life on the Set of Jaws and Beyond. Limited copies will be available for purchase courtesy Martin House Books.
ABOUT THE BOOK & AUTHOR: Robert Shaw, the iconic star of Steven Spielberg’s Jaws, comes boisterously to life in an up-close and personal biography that reveals the brilliant actor, esteemed playwright, prize-winning novelist, and loving family man as never before. Robert Shaw unforgettably commanded attention as the weathered seaman Captain Quint in the blockbuster sensation, JAWS. But what came before and after that landmark film is as dramatic as the hunt for the great white shark itself.
Capturing the many facets of the vibrant, generous, and sometimes polarizing man is his nephew, Christopher Shaw Myers, who explores the forces that shaped a dynamic personality—including Robert’s indomitable mother, his deeply troubled father, and Robert’s activist sister, Joanna, with whom Robert shared an unbreakable bond. Out of the traumatic events of their childhood in the Orkney Islands and Cornwall, Mrs. Shaw pushed her children to pursue their dreams. For Robert, that dream was acting and writing.
