Prepare to have your face melted by the likes of Shreddy Eddy, Golden Thunder and the reigning champ, D Vicious. In this joyful comedy, which premiered at the prestigious Humana Festival in 2017, professional Air Guitar competitions provide the backdrop for a marvelous cast of characters. When Nina, a real guitar player, wanders into a bar to compete, she soon discovers that there's more to this art form than playing pretend.

"...Under Christina A. Coakley's direction, able acting draws out the humor, poignancy and warmth of this work, helping the production get past touches of stiffness. Premiered in 2017 at the esteemed Humana Festival of New American Plays, "Airness" tells a heartwarming if ultimately predictable underdog story set in the close-knit world of air guitar, a pastime that involves shredding on an imaginary ax."

"...Director Christina A, Coakley and choreographer Jessica Redish coax nuanced, energetic, and charming performances out of the cast-not for nothing, but some of these characters could have easily veered into the stereotypical in less capable hands. I've admired Krishawn's work since I first came across her in last year's Andromeda Breaks, and she continues to be just as beguiling here, drawing the eye and ear in every scene she's in. As Facebender, Stezin is essentially playing two roles in one, and does so with aplomb; the scene in which he breaks down why he got involved in air guitar is one of the most memorable and meaningful of the whole play (and I wish Marcantel would give us an entire spin-off centered on his daily life)."
