Jaws at The Paramount 6/13

The original summer blockbuster, Jaws splashed onto the scene in June of 1975, and 51 years later audiences still can’t get enough of Steven Spielberg’s teeth-gnashing, Narragansett Beer-swilling, small town politicking, boat-bashing action masterpiece. The terror-inducing titular great white shark has scared people out of the water for decades, and since this classic still boasts its original PG rating from the MPAA, you’re free to traumatize the next generation of would-be swimmers and sailors. $9.75–11.75, 7pm. The Paramount Theater, 215 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. theparamount.net
