Parker Player Theater Company presents Amadeus by Peter Shaffer. This classic story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the foppish young prodigy, arriving in Vienna determined to make his mark, remains the same. Court composer Antonio Salieri, who awestruck by the young genius and seized with an obsessive jealousy, begins a war with Mozart, with music, and ultimately, with God, also remains the same. BUT, PPTC presents this levity-filled drama whose scope is as operatic as it comes, as an intimate, immersive, and slightly anarchic new experience.

Directed by Chris Causer and Jenilee Houghton, and featuring a talented ensemble of actors, we invite you into our punk rock world where Mozart disrupts the musical traditions of Emperor King Joseph II Vienna court.
