Clackamas Community College’s Theater Department will present Chelsea Marcantel’s “Airness” as its spring main stage production.

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 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.

Directed by Allison Moon, “Airness” features a dynamic ensemble of CCC students, with scenic design by Chris Whitten, lighting design by Katy Frazier and Jaden Martin, prop design by Jennifer Jett and costumes by August Hemlock.

“Airness” runs May 22-June 1, Thursdays and Fridays at 7:30 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. and Friday, May 30, at 10 a.m. in the Niemeyer Osterman Theatre, 19600 Molalla Ave., Oregon City.

Tickets are $16 for adults, $14 for seniors (62+) and free for students. Tickets are discounted by $1 if purchased online. Visit www.clackamas.edu/theatre or call 503-594-3153 for reservations.
