    Amadeus

    Directed by Liz Fisher, starring Diego Arroyo Aceves as Mozart and Kareem Badr(!) as Antonio Salieri, this Tony Award-winning play (as scripted by the brilliant Peter Shaffer) features musical interludes with Mozart's beloved compositions. Listen: For one performance only, the music will be performed live by 40 members of the Central Texas Philharmonic; in the remaining performances, audiences will be treated to a "Mozart remix" by local composer Michael Morét. Because, as we've noticed, the Penfold Theatre Company likes to do things 1) right and 2) big.
    Through April 9. Thu.-Sat., 7:30pm; Sun., 5pm. $5-31.
