Not for young audiences – mature themes and language
At the James Lee Community Center Theater – 2855 Annandale Rd Falls Church
Season tickets are available through though the end of the run of Amadeus
There is a tremendous amount of fine community theater on stage in the DC/MD/VA region at any given time. But, every once in a while, there is a convergence of a superior play, a passionate director and just the right cast and production team that results in a truly special production. Such is the case with the Providence Players’ production of Amadeus. Director Julie Janson, her cast, and the production team have brought Peter Shaffer’s award winning script to life in a stunningly beautiful and inventive way. Opening weekend audiences were brought to their feet each performance, moved by the stage work of David Whitehead as Salieri, Mike Rudden as Mozart, Julia Buhagiar as Constanze and the rest of the fine cast. Throughout the production, The James Lee Community Center Theater swells with the music of Mozart and the outstanding voice of Christina Massimei as Katherina Cavalieri. The production moves seamlessly through time on a gorgeously rich set designed and decorated by Patrick and Ingrid David. The play itself is a masterpiece and the production is inspired and should not be missed. On stage for two more weeks, just 7 more performances. Tickets are selling quickly. Be sure to get yours online today.

DcMetroTheaterArts.com in their five star review says:
“The Providence Players of Fairfax’s production of Amadeus is a glorious mixture of drama and comedy and music that is truly transcendent. This production was skillfully directed by Julie Janson [and] Music Director Kyle Keene does a superb job as he blends the music of Mozart into just the right places to provide a wonderful effect of time and place. The performances in Amadeus are exceptional. The ultra-talented David Whitehead as Salieri takes on a challenging role with intelligence and intensity…[his] performance is layered and nuanced. As Mozart, Mike Rudden is brilliant as an innocent genius who simply cannot cope. The characters known as Venticelli 1 (Bobby Welsh) and Venticelli 2 (Debora Crabbe) are truly excellent as sort of “narrators” to fill in the blanks and keep the story moving. Katherina Cavalieri…portrayed by the incomparable Christina Massimei is an opera singer…She has a rich soprano voice that is nothing short of stunning. …Please get your tickets for this profound and enjoyable experience. It is not to be missed!”

Amadeus is the story of legendary composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, as told through the eyes of his jealous rival Antonio Salieri, this psychological mystery has played to thunderous applause the world over. The scene is set in Vienna, 1781: the young Mozart can write an opera a week but can’t control his exuberant giggling and notorious libido. Antonio Salieri–until now the royal court’s most lauded musician–recognizes Mozart’s genius, calling him “God’s magic flute.” Pious, wicked, and soon to be guilt-ridden, Salieri tries everything to subvert the success of this enfant terrible. Will that include murder? Peter Shaffer’s Amadeus has won five Tony Awards including Best Play, and the 1984 film adaptation won eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture. This masterpiece has been passionately adapted and inventively staged by Julie Janson in her directorial debut with the Providence Players.
