Comedic legend and author Steve Martin offers up a unique tale called Meteor Shower. The show is about of two married couples who get together to catch the latest cosmic spectacle in the sky only to find themselves hilariously and unexpectedly changed.
Jobsite begins their 21st season, themed a great reckoning in a Little Room, in Sep. with ‘wild and crazy guy’ Steve Martin‘s hilarious new comedy that takes an offbeat and absurdist look at the comic anxiety lurking just beneath the surface of modern marriage.
Corky and Norm are excited to host Gerald and Laura at their home in the valley outside Los Angeles to watch a once-in-a-lifetime meteor shower. But as the stars come out and the conversation gets rolling, it becomes clear that Gerald and Laura might not be all that they appear to be
Over the course of a crazy, starlit dinner party, the wildly unexpected occurs. The couples begin to flirt and insanity reigns. Martin, using his trademark absurdist humor, bends the fluid nature of time and reality to create a surprising and unforgettably funny new play.
Meteor Shower is directed by Jobsite Artistic Associate Paul J. Potenza (A Skull in Connemara, The Lonesome West) who leads the artistic team of Brian Smallheer (scenic design), Jo Averill-Snell (light design), and Katrina Stevenson (costume design). The show stars Jonelle M. Meyer, Amy E. Gray, Jamie Jones, and Jordan Foote.
