AMADEUS
SEPTEMBER 18 - OCTOBER 10, 2026
by PETER SHAFFER
directed by MATT HUNE
Tony Award and Drama Desk Award Winner
A confrontation on genius, envy, and the terrible silence of God.
Vienna. Antonio Salieri summons the ghosts of his past to answer a question that has haunted him for decades: why did God choose Mozart instead of him? As memory gives way to obsession, the story of one of history's greatest composers unfolds through the eyes of the man who believed he destroyed him.
Rec Room transforms Amadeus into an intimate theatrical séance where memory, ritual, and myth converge. Peter Shaffer's masterpiece becomes an act of confession, exploring the mysteries of creation and the unbearable cost of witnessing greatness from its shadow.
