Common Air enjoyed such fantastic success during the once a week development of this outstanding solo piece, their performance schedule has been expanded to 6 weekly performances!**

Lyras & McCaskill’s comedy-drama Common Air links six distinct characters during the mother of all delays at JFK Airport. The reason is unknown and a spiraling game of “telephone” ensues in an effort to uncover the truth.

Characters include an Iraqi Cab Driver, an Art Gallery Owner, a Corporate Attorney, a sample stealing DJ, a sinister Philosophy Professor, and an Iraqi-American just returned from civil war in Baghdad.

What happens when the cell phones die and laptops lose their charge? When we’re forced to revert to non-high-speed communication? Are we even capable anymore, or have our brains devolved into hard drives that crash at the slightest wave of turbulence?

“Tensile energy and unflagging skill in this must-see show.” –Los Angeles Times

“An emotionally involving, finely detailed performance.” –Variety

“One of the finest solo performances of 2008.” –LA Stage Scene
