THE COMMON AIR Extends Performances Through 6/27

After criticial acclaim, and popularity among savvy New York air travelers, The Common AIR, a new play written by Alex Lyras and Robert McCaskill, directed by Robert McCaskill and performed by Alex Lyras, will extend performances at 45 Bleecker Street Theatre until Sunday, June 27, 2010. www.thecommonair.com.

The Common AIR,confronts the universal anxieties of air travel as six desperate men encounter a monumental airport delay. Planes are grounded. Rumors Fly. The reason is unknown and a spiraling game of "telephone" ensues in an effort to uncover the truth. The production spotlights technology's depreciating effects on face to face humanity and the Iraq war's myriad effects on American culture. The airport delay--The Common bond linking the characters--is rumored to be a result of a terrorist conspiracy.

Performed by Alex Lyras, The Common AIR features the characters of an Iraqi Cab Driver with a winning reality show idea, an art gallery owner seduced by ancient Greek cave art, a corporate attorney imparting rapid fire, ethically gray advice, a sample stealing DJ named PJ, a sinister philosophy professor mixing logic and irrationality in a west Texas accent, and an Iraqi-American just returned from civil war in Baghdad.

Performances of The Common AIR are on Wednesdays thru Saturdays at 8PM and Sundays at 4PM. Special added performances are on Tuesday, April 13 at 2PM & 7PM.

Tickets are $49.50 & $56.50 and available through www.45Bleecker.com or by calling (212) 239-6200.
