Steve Martin began his career on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, for which he earned his first Emmy Award for writing in 1969. During the mid-'70s he shone as a stand-up on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and appeared on HBO's On Location and NBC's Saturday Night Live. Martin's widely popular films include The Jerk, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Roxanne, Parenthood and Father of the Bride.

Martin Short, a celebrated comedian and actor, has won fans and accolades in TV, film and theater since his breakout season on Saturday Night Live almost 30 years ago. He became a fan favorite for his portrayal of characters such as Ed Grimley, lawyer Nathan Thurm and "legendary songwriter" Irving Cohen. Short's popularity on SNL led him to cross over quickly into feature films. He made his debut in Three Amigos, followed by roles in Inner Space, Three Fugitives, Father of the Bride, Clifford, Mars Attacks!, Madagascar 3 and Frankenweenie.

Located on the campus of Boise State University, the 2,037-seat Velma V. Morrison Center for the Performing Arts is Idaho's premier performing arts center. Nestled on the banks of the Boise River, with a panoramic view of the city, parks and foothills, the Center's 10-story stage house is a recognizable fixture of the Capitol's picturesque skyline. The realization of a life-long dream of Harry W. Morrison, and championed by his widow, Velma, the Center opened its doors on April 7, 1984. Today the Center is recognized as a major destination for arts and culture, annually hosting hundreds of live entertainment and arts education offerings that serve to enrich the lives of patrons of all ages. As a Boise State affiliate, the Center is a non-profit organization supported by ticket sales, facility rentals, donations and the generous support of the Morrison Center Endowment Foundation, Inc.
