The Shark Is Broken
Audiences are invited to step behind the scenes of one of Hollywood’s most iconic films with The Shark Is Broken, a gripping and entertaining stage play that dives into the turbulent making of Jaws, the world’s first blockbuster.
Set on the open ocean in 1974, filming has been delayed once again. Confined to a too-small boat are three very different actors: seasoned theatre legend Robert Shaw and rising Hollywood stars Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider. At the mercy of foul weather and a malfunctioning mechanical shark, tensions rise as alcohol flows, egos clash, and tempers flare. What unfolds is a raw, humorous, and deeply human look at the chaos, conflict, and unexpected camaraderie that may just lead to cinematic history—if it doesn’t sink them first.
Set aboard the Orca, The Shark Is Broken offers a profound and witty exploration of the choppy waters behind Hollywood’s first blockbuster. Celebrating movie history while revealing the personal struggles behind the camera, this compelling play is a must-see for film lovers, theater enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by the stories that shape legendary cinema.

Experience and Intersection
Celebrate the Madison-Morgan Cultural Center’s 50th anniversary with experience and intersection, a special exhibition on display from May 2 through October 31, 2026, in the center’s upstairs galleries.
This compelling exhibition brings together the work of acclaimed artist John Cleaveland and the late Richard Olsen, exploring artistic legacy, mentorship, and lived experience through painting. Olsen, a University of Georgia professor from 1969 to 2001 and a Vietnam veteran, influenced generations of artists with his powerful and evolving visual language. His work often reflected the realities of war while later embracing a more nuanced artistic approach.
Cleaveland, one of Olsen’s former students, is known for his masterful landscape paintings that capture light, mood, and place with remarkable sensitivity and technical skill. Together, their artwork creates a meaningful dialogue that highlights the enduring connection between teacher and student while showcasing two distinct artistic perspectives.
Curated by Andy Hayes, Kamden Ecker, Mitzi Carr, and John Cleaveland, the exhibition celebrates creativity, mentorship, and the lasting impact of art across generations. An opening reception will be held on May 2, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
The exhibition will be on display at the Madison-Morgan Cultural Center, located at 434 South Main Street in Madison, Georgia, and is open to the public. Visitors may explore the galleries Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Sunday from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, providing plenty of opportunities to experience this inspiring collection celebrating artistic legacy, mentorship, and creativity.

Mandy Barnett-Winter Wonderland
Celebrate the season with a magical evening of music at Mandy Barnett – Winter Wonderland, featuring Grand Ole Opry member Mandy Barnett, one of Nashville’s most enduring and beloved musical treasures. Having begun singing at just five years old, Barnett has spent a lifetime captivating audiences with her extraordinary voice on stages around the world.
Rooted in the timeless traditions of classic country and pop crooning, Barnett’s performances are known for their emotional depth and interpretive brilliance. With a voice famously described as “pipes of steel” by the Los Angeles Times, she brings warmth, power, and heart to every song—earning her the reputation, as one record executive put it, of being “a song’s best friend.”
Barnett first rose to national prominence as the original star of Always… Patsy Cline at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium. She remains the only actress to portray Patsy Cline on the very stage where Cline’s legend began, performing on the original cast recording and selling out nightly shows to critical acclaim.

Come From Away AUDITIONS — Presented by The Lake Country Players
The Lake Country Players bring the Tony Award-winning musical Come From Away to Festival Hall in downtown Greensboro this November — and LCP is proud to be one of the first community theaters in the region chosen to premiere it.
This New York Times Critics' Pick tells the remarkable true story of the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, that opened its doors to 7,000 stranded airline passengers in the days following September 11th. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night, and strangers became lifelong friends. Written by Tony nominees Irene Sankoff and David Hein, Come From Away has earned acclaim across North America for its emotional depth, clever staging, and versatile ensemble cast — most performers portray multiple characters throughout the show. Directed by Michael A. Blackmon with music direction by Manuel Martinez.
Rehearsals will be Tuesdays/Thursdays from 6:00-8:00 p.m. and Sundays from 2:00-5:00 at Lakeside Church until the month prior to the production. THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE BASED ON CAST AVAILABILITY. Lake Country Players tries to accommodate the cast as much as possible.
Beginning one month prior to production, rehearsals will move to Festival Hall, 201 N. Main St., Greensboro, GA. Rehearsals the week prior to production and the week of production are mandatory unless cleared with the Director at least 2 weeks in advance. And will be held Monday-Thursday 6:00-8:00 and Sunday (Tech day) will be from 1:00-5:00. Rehearsal schedules will be adjusted as deemed necessary by the Director.
