Theater Thursday
Meteor Shower by Steve Martin
American Stage, DTSP
Norm and Corky host a dinner party for their new friends, Gerald and Laura, to watch a once-in-a-lifetime meteor shower. But their guests are anything but ordinary—funny, unpredictable, and seemingly determined to unravel their hosts simply for the thrill of it.
As the meteors streak overhead and cocktails flow, reality begins to bend, civility dissolves, and the evening spirals into gleeful absurdity. Part sitcom, part cosmic fever dream, Steve Martin’s Meteor Shower is a razor-sharp comedy about marriage, desire, and the strange forces that pull people together—and tear them apart.
