About the Performances

By Chelsea Marcantel
Directed by Dr. Amy Steiger
November 2-5, 8:00PM
November 6, 2:00PM
Nina plays actual guitar, so winning an air guitar competition should be a breeze, right? Nope! Fortunately a flock of misfit air guitar aficionados takes her under their wings and schools her in the ways of airness. This poignant comedy about the power of performance, questioning what’s “real,” and finding community in unexpected places pays homage to the world of competitive air guitar.

Anna Deavere Smith has said that this play is about “the power of the body, the cost of care and the resilience of the spirit.” Based on over 300 interviews and first performed over a decade ago, Smith’s play and its exploration of the remarkable experience of having a human body that fails, heals, and connects us with others perhaps resonates even more strongly today
