Steve Martin comedy comes to Tampa in September!

Tampa, FL
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. Meteor Shower runs Sep. 6-29, 2019, in the Shimberg Playhouse at the Straz Center, where Jobsite is resident theater company.

“Mr. Martin is peerless at crafting tiny wit bombs, and always has been […] It’s definitely funny!”
The New York Times

Steve Martin’s Meteor Shower teaser

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.

Broadway fans no doubt recall the record-setting 2017 production starring Amy Schumer, Laura Benanti, Keegan-Michael Key, and Jeremy Shamos. The original production in 2016 at the Old Globe starred The Office’s Jenna Fischer.
