AIRNESS PLAYS TONIGHT AT 7:30! Get your tickets at www.basbleu.org

Meet the cast! Dan Muth plays Facebender, the oldie but goodie and the very heart of the show.

We asked Dan the following questions:

How do you relate to this character?

I feel I relate to him in a few ways. He's made some serious mistakes in his life but instead of letting them control him, he chose to learn and move on from them. He knows having people in his life is important and doesn't take them for granted. He's also a big nerd.

What do you love about this character?

His Viking personae, and he wears his emotions on his sleeve.

What does your character prioritize?

His daughter, family and friends. His love for air guitar.

What is the biggest challenge about taking on this role?

The Boston Song. I've heard the song too many times growing up, hahaha!

What motivates your character?

His passion for air guitar and his love for his family and family and friends.

Without giving anything away, what is your favorite line of dialogue?

"To take the threat of alcohol poisoning more seriously."

Besides yourself, which actor in this production is going to blow people away?

Can't choose just one. They are all very amazing and more talented than I. I love working with them!

If you could play any other character in this show, who would it be?

Probably D-Vicious. It's a good bad guy role, but you also pity him. Miles portrays him beautifully.

Come see Dan, and the rest of the cast in AIRNESS. Written by Chelsea Marcantel and directed by Nathaniel Quinn, AIRNESS plays weekends through December 22.

We will see you at the Bleu!

Family still in town? Bring them to Bas Bleu tonight! For just a few dollars donation, you can see the play that will have you rockin' around the Christmas tree! No need to make a reservation, seating is open and on a first-come first-serve basis.

AIRNESS by Chelsea Marcantel and directed by Nathaniel Quinn.

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.

We will see you at the Bleu!

For tickets to the rest of the run, visit www.basbleu.org.
