Join us for Shark Day at The Waldo! Two great films... the first film strives to quell our fears about sharks and the second one preys on those fears. You know it. You LOVE it. To add to the fun, the first 50 ticket holders to arrive at the Waldo will receive a cool pair of "Shark" glasses to wear!  Also, take a fun selfie in the jaws of our shark selfie frame! Make it a full afternoon and be sure to stop by the Broad Bay Church Blueberry Extravaganza across the street before the show from 3 to 5!

The first at 5:00 pm is Great White Shark, which explores the great white’s place in our imaginations, in our fears, and in its role at the top of the oceanic food chain. Shot on location in South Africa, New Zealand, Mexico and California, the film looks to find the truth behind the mythic creature forever stigmatized by its portrayal in the world’s first blockbuster movie, Jaws.

Great White Shark aims to reveal the strength and beauty of these animals by looking through the eyes of those who have been touched by their shark encounters: Mike Rutzen, South African shark expert, who swims with great whites in the aptly named Shark Alley; Chris Lowe, who has been tagging juvenile great whites off the coast of Los Angeles and discovering more and more of their secret life; and two record-breaking freedivers, Frederic Buyle and William Winram, who tag Great Whites by simply holding their breath and freediving with the sharks. The film culminates in a direct encounter between man and shark.

The second film starts at 6:00pm and it's the 70's classic by Steven Spielberg, JAWS. When a young woman is killed by a shark while skinny-dipping near the New England tourist town of Amity Island, police chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) wants to close the beaches, but mayor Larry Vaughn (Murray Hamilton) overrules him, fearing that the loss of tourist revenue will cripple the town. Ichthyologist Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) and grizzled ship captain Quint (Robert Shaw) offer to help Brody capture the killer beast, and the trio engage in an epic battle of man vs. nature.
