If you're looking for something to do with your lonely evening, you could do far worse than to check out Skydive at the Centaur, which stars two brothers whose feet rarely touch the stage. Instead, these guys fly over the stage with help from a hardworking, mostly-invisible stage crew who fling the actors high over the boards by manipulating hoists and harnesses. The younger brother is an agoraphobic nerd and the more outgoing older sibling is a failed rock star hopeful who has now embraced borderline bogus new age psych therapies. After much nostalgic pop-culture banter about Geddy Lee and Steve Austin, older frere counsels bro on lucid dreaming and much of the rest of the play shows the two in an incredible dream that involves parachuting. The clever, witty show is as light as air and just flew by (enough of that...Chimples) making for one of the most enjoyable plays that has hit the Centaur in quite some time.
