In directing Airness\, I have become fascinated by the intersection of acting and air guitar\, and how t he brilliance of our playwright\, Chelsea Marcantel\, capitalized on the p otential for theatricalizing this unusual form of performance art. Here yo u meet people that care deeply about their community\, and support like mi nded artists to achieve their dreams on stage.” -Eli Simon\, director\, UCI Claire Trevor School of the Arts production of “Airness”\n[/vc_col umn_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nPerform ances\nEvenings: Feb. 4\, 9\, 10\, at 8 p.m.\nEvening: Feb. 8\, 11 at 7:3 0 p.m. (please note: the 11th has been changed from 8 to 7:30 p.m.)\nMati nees: Feb. 5\, 12 at 2 p.m.\n\n \;\nTickets\nGeneral admission: $19\nS eniors\, Groups 10+\, UCI Faculty &\; Staff: $16\nArts Packages: $15\nU CI Students &\; Children under 17: $12[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc _row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title="Buy Tickets" color="primary" align= "center" link="url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.arts.uci.edu%2Fevent%2Fairness|target :_blank"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][/vc_column ][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]About “Airness”\n\nWritte n by \, Directed Chelsea Marcantel by Eli Simon\n\nWhen Nina enters her fi rst air guitar competition\, she thinks winning will be easy. But as she b efriends a group of charismatic nerds all committed to becoming the next c hampion\, she discovers that there's more to this art form than playing pr etend\; it's about finding yourself in your favorite songs\, and performin g with raw joy. Will Nina be able to let go and set herself free onstage? Whether you shred or are shredded\, Airness is an exuberant comedy about c ompetition\, completion\, building community and finding the “airness" i nside yourself in order to heal your inner demons.
