Lose yourself in the world of competitive air guitar
“Real-life rocker Nina O’Neal thinks she can easily win an air guitar contest. She knows the songs, she knows the moves and, after all, it’s just pretend. Isn’t it?”
Thus starts the synopsis of Chelsea Marcantel’s play, “Airness.” Audiences follow O’Neal as she immerses herself in a world of misfits, nerds and eccentrics who are laser-focused on attaining the pure and uninhibited joy of rock-n-roll bliss.
“’Airness’ is about adults finding freedom and joy in a sense of play, just like most of us had as kids but many of us lose it while growing up,” said Sabo. “The characters love the sense of being awakened to joy through air guitar. We hope the show will have the same effect on the audience.”
