By: Oct. 17, 2015
The Alden in McLean presents the hilarious and high-energy performance troupe, PLAYING BY AIR, for a single family friendly showing at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1. Based in Nashville, Tennessee, the group encourages audience interaction. Tickets are $20, $15 for McLean Community Center tax district residents. The Alden is located at 1234 Ingleside Avenue, inside the center.

PLAYING BY AIR captivates audiences with a joyful fusion of music, juggling and circus acts in which traditional theatricality meets absurd comedy. The award-winning performers share their sense of playfulness and perform breathtaking feats in a production enjoyed equally by adults and children. Audiences are drawn into the performance by their contagious attitude of expressive play and creativity.

The show is a symphony of action, comedy and music that audiences describe as "a gift of laughter and joy." The cast juggles, balances and literally flips all kinds of things! The award-winning performers of PLAYING BY AIR have appeared by invitation at The White House, performed for Fortune 500 companies and wowed a stadium of 20,000 fans at Madison Square Garden. With technical precision and skillful teamwork, PLAYING BY AIR raises the bar on juggling choreography as a popular art form.
