Located at 222 West 45th Street, the Booth Theatre is small Broadway performance venue owned by the Shubert Organisation. This is the second theater named in the honor of legendary 19th century actor Edwin Booth, after the first one was destroyed by a fire in 1869. The Booth was constructed by manager Lee Shubert and producer Winthrop Ames. The theater hosted a production for the first time on October 16, 1913, t with Arnold Bennett’s The Great Adventure. Since then, the Booth Theatre has gone on to host many an iconic productions including You Can’t Take It With You, Swan Song, Sunday In The Park With George, Once On This Island, The Elephant Man, and Hand To God, among others. Presently, the Booth is home to Amy Schumer starrer Meteor Shower.
Meteor Shower is the story of the night when Corky and her husband Norm host another couple over for dinner. But Laura and Gerald aren't what you would describe as normal house guests in the literal sense of the word. Over the course of the night, the two couples find themselves in a marital freefall matched in velocity and peril only by the smoldering space rocks tearing through the sky.

Playing At The Booth Theatre
Meteor Shower
“Steve Martin’s new play “Meteor Shower” is a wacky exploration of love, life, death, inner selves, order, chaos and astronomical wonders. The audience gets to see various versions of the evening’s events and must decide for themselves which and who is real, and whether we all have a little of Gerald and Laura inside.”
– The San Diego Urban Tribune
A quirky comedy that unfolds amidst an offbeat and absurd situation, the play explores what bubbles underneath the surface of a modern marriage. Set in the early 90’s, the play explores hilarious strands of love, life, chaos and spell-binding astronomical sights. Schumer’s role as the eccentric wife with unique interests is hysterical and every bit entertaining.
The Story
When couple Norm and Corky invite their friends Laura and Gerald for an evening soiree, little do they know that the night that reserved for stargazing will, instead, turn into a marital free-fall. Watch as a casual evening of small-talk and meteor showers turns into a sexually aggressive and manipulative word-match with hilarious circumstances.
