Citadel Theatre presents THE CHICAGOLAND PREMIERE of Airness by Chelsea Marcantel, directed by Joe Lehman
Synopsis: When Nina enters her first air guitar competition, she thinks winning will be easy. 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.
Running April 21 - May 21, 2023 with preview performances April 19 & 20 at 7:30 pm.
Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays at 7:30 pm, Sundays at 3:00 pm, Wednesdays at 1:00 pm (5/3/23 and 5/17/23)
