Get your tickets at beckcenter.org<https://beckcenter.na.ticketsearch.com/sales/salesevent/12987> 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.
