This production is a part of the Asheville Amadeus Festival with
the
Asheville Symphony
North Carolina Stage Company (NC Stage) and Asheville Community Theatre (ACT) are excited to announce a co-production of AMADEUS opening March 11th, 2015.
In 18th
century Vienna, music is the currency of power. And Court Composer Antonio
Salieri is the toast of the town. That is, until a young prodigy by the name of
Mozart comes on the scene. Reeling from the realization of his own mediocrity
in the face of true genius, Salieri swears vengeance on the God that gifted
Mozart’s breathtaking talent. Swells of music and madness stir through the Tony
Award-winning drama that raises the question: how far would you go to secure
your legacy? Amadeus is directed by Angie Flynn-McIver and stars
Michael MacCauley. Presented as a part of the Asheville Amadeus Festival, Amadeus
is a co-production between NC Stage Company & Asheville Community Theatre. Amadeus will be performed March
11-22, 2015 with performances Wednesday - Saturday nights at 7:30 pm and Sunday
afternoons at 2:30 pm. Tickets are available online at
www.ashevilletheatre.org, by phone at 828-254-1320 or in person at the ACT Box
Office.

Amadeus stars
Michael MacCauley as Salieri and Allen Law as Mozart. The show also features Scott Treadway as the
Emperor. The play is directed by Angie
Flynn-McIver, the co-Founder and Producing Director at NC Stage. Of the production, Angie says, "Amadeus is a play that we have wanted to produce for years.
It's a director's dream --it has huge emotions, fascinating characters, genius,
revenge, mystery, God...what more could any director want? I am also completely
thrilled with the cast we have assembled, and the designers. These artists will
bring Amadeus to life in a
completely unexpected and wonderful way."
This is the first time that these two organizations are collaborating ACT
Artistic Director Susan Harper says, “ACT
and the staff are thrilled to be partnering with our colleagues from North
Carolina Stage on Amadeus. ACT has had Amadeus on our wish list for a while
and this festival was the perfect opportunity. We have great respect for
the work done at NC Stage and we are excited by the challenge of figuring
out how to work together. Frankly, we're just enjoying getting together
more often and collaborating.”
