SERVICES TO SHARE THIS PAGE. Jenna Fischer and Greg Germann have been tapped to star in _Meteor Shower_, the new comedic play by Steve Martin that will reunite him with San Diego’s The Old

Globe. That’s the venue where Martin and Edie Brickell debuted their musical _Bright Star_, which ended up on Broadway and scored five Tony nominations after its 2015 bow. _Meteor Shower_

revolves around Norm and his wife Corky who invite another couple to their Ojai backyard to watch a meteor shower. As the stars come out and the conversation gets rolling, cocktails flow,

tempers flare, and sparks fly — literally. Alex Henrikson (_Fish In The Dark_) and Josh Stamberg (_The Affair_) will play the other couple, the production said. Gordon Edelstein is directing

in a co-production with Long Wharf Theatre, where he serves as artistic director. The play begins previews July 30 and will run through September 11, with opening night August 7 at the

Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, part of the Conrad Prebys Theatre Center. The Old Globe has extended the run by a week due to ticket demand, it said today. Martin isn’t done at the Globe

yet: In February, as part of the 2016-2017 season, the venue will mount a production of his comedy _Picasso At The Lapin Agile_ set to run February 4-March 12, 2017. WATCH ON DEADLINE
