- For Mature Audiences: Language
When actual guitarist Nina enters an air guitar competition, she thinks the whole thing is pretty silly, but she soon discovers that it takes real talent and charisma to become the champion. Does Nina have what it takes to do more than play pretend and seriously rock it? Airness is a comedy about "being authentic to your true self, letting go of your inhibitions and accepting others for who they are."
– Onstage Colorado
For our audiences who can't make it to the Alvina Krause Theatre in person, BTE is stoked to announce that you can rock out to 'Airness' right from your own couch! Don't delay as the show times are limited and the ability to stream ends October 10th.
Due to restrictions from Broadway On Demand, BTE is unable to include the streaming of 'Airness' to our subscribers and season ticket holders. We apologize for any confusion regarding the matter.

Chelsea Marcantel is an LA-based writer, director, and collaborator.
Reared by Cajuns in southwest Louisiana, Chelsea has lived and made theatre among the tribes of the Midwest, Appalachia, the Mid-Atlantic, and now the West Coast. In 2016, she completed a Lila Acheson Wallace American Playwrights Fellowship at The Juilliard School. Her plays include Airness, Everything is Wonderful, Ladyish, Devour, and Tiny Houses. They have been produced around the United States and Canada (and Chelsea is vigorously working on becoming a sensation abroad as well).
Current commissions: San Francisco Playhouse & Delaware Theatre Company.
Chelsea has been entrusted with young minds at Virginia Intermont College and Emory & Henry College, and loved every minute of it. As a writer, Chelsea is extremely interested in humans as small-group primates, and what happens when the rules and value systems of our chosen groups cease to serve us. She reads a lot of books, watches a lot of documentaries, and listens to a lot of podcasts. Chelsea is an avid self-producer, an enthusiastic member of The Writers Guild of America and The Dramatists Guild, and is definitely working on something amazing right this very minute.
