CCBC presents Airness by Chelsea Marcantel

Community College of Baltimore County Performing Arts presents Airness by Chelsea Marcantel October 19 - 23 in the F. Scott Black Theatre at CCBC Essex, 7201 Rossville Boulevard.


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.
