AIRNESS
by Chelsea Marcantel
directed by Brendan Burke
June 3rd – June 19th
Nina is a newbie in the world of competitive air guitar. Joining a clique of super-committed rock n’ roll nerds, she’s taken on a journey towards ultimate air guitar self-actualization: AIRNESS, the indescribable state of being that can only happen when you’re not just faking it…but letting go and living it.
