Meteor Shower Lands at Beck Center
by Julie Gilliland 07 Mar '22

07 Mar '22

CONTACT: Julie Gilliland, Director of Marketing, jgilliland(a)beckcenter.org<mailto:jgilliland@beckcenter.org> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 7, 2022 Meteor Shower Beck Center Premieres Steve Martin's Dazzling Comedy Lakewood, OH-Beck Center for the Arts<http://www.beckcenter.org> is ecstatic to announce the regional premiere of Steve Martin's Meteor Shower.<https://beckcenter.squarespace.com/shows/meteorshower> Written by actor, comedian, author, playwright, screenwriter, producer, musician, and Renaissance Man Steve Martin, this wild and crazy play pulls back the curtain on two married couples and the extreme transformation they experience when the sky is the limit. You'll have a burning desire to find out what happens next. Unexpectedly fresh and stamped with Martin's trademark wit, Meteor Shower began at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego in 2016 and premiered on Broadway in 2017. Meteor Shower starred Keegan-Michael Key, Laura Benanti, Jeremy Shamos, and Amy Schumer, who was nominated for a Tony Award for her role. Meteor Shower was met with high praise. Deadline calls it "one of the funniest, and wildest, games of social and sexual one-upsmanship," and Towleroad states, "Martin, a genius comedian himself, whips up a gleeful pastiche of tropes recognizable to fans of his '90s heyday." Beck Center Artistic Director Scott Spence<https://www.beckcenter.org/about/leadership> says: "Steve Martin is not only a "wild and crazy guy" but also a wild and crazy playwright! On the surface of his plays things look normal enough, but he loves nothing more than to mess with both time and space, and on top of that, toss in the wildly improbable. He is always the master of the unexpected, and that's one of the many reasons I love working on his plays. Oh yeah...and he's just flat-out funny too!" Beck Center's production of Meteor Shower<https://beckcenter.squarespace.com/shows/meteorshower> stars Lara Mielcarek* as Corky, Abraham Adams* as Norm, Leilani Barrett* as Gerald, and Leslie Andrews as Laura. (* Denotes Member of Actor's Equity Association.) Set design is Cameron Michalak, costume design by Inda Blatch-Geib, sound design by Angie Hayes, lighting and projection design by Tim Chrisman, and stage management by Jamie Benetto.

Each play will receive three – four rehearsals. The plays will all be read as a single recorded event for virtual distribution. *1. **First Rehearsal*: Sunday, March 20, 2022 *2. **Recorded Reading*: Saturday April 30 or Sunday, May 1, 2022 *3. **From the Director:* I have created sides from the scripts for auditions. I think it's useful for actors to prepare something from the actual work we are developing. The sides include: Female - For female identifying actors of all ages. Male 1 - For male identifying actors ages 15 - 25. Male 2 - For male identifying actors ages 25+. Girl / Boy - For young folks (14 and younger). *Go to wualstudio.org <http://wualstudio.org/>.* See & select the sides from the plays and playwrights you’d like to perform. 1.
