The School of Theatre & Dance will perform "Airness" Oct. 15-24 in the Gladys G. Davis Theatre of the Canady Creative Arts Center.
Written by Chelsea Marcantel, "Airness" follows Nina as she enters her first air guitar competition, which she thinks will be easy to win. But as she befriends a group of charismatic nerds all committed to becoming the next champion, she discovers that there's more to this art form than playing pretend; it's about finding yourself in your favorite songs and performing with raw joy. Will Nina be able to let go and set herself free onstage? Following her mission to shred or be shredded, "Airness" is an exuberant reminder that everything we need to rock is already inside us. A comedy about competition, completion and finding the airness inside yourself.
"Airness" at WVU is directed by Associate Professor Lee Blair.
