Greenwich’s Megan Harris is appearing as a Venticelli in the Town Players of New Canaan’s production of Peter Shaffer’s Tony-Award winning play Amadeus, which opened last week and plays through Saturday, Nov. 19, at the Powerhouse Theatre in Waveny Park, New Canaan.

Ms. Harris, who grew up in Greenwich, was vice president of Thespian Drama Honors Theatre and a member of Madrigals at Greenwich High School and recently graduated from James Madison University, is following her passion to become an actress. In the production of Amadeus, Ms. Harris will portray one of the Venticelli, the whisperers whom composer Antonio Salieri pays to bring him the gossip and slander of Vienna, as well as the silent role of opera star Katerina Cavalieri, who had affairs with both Mozart and Salieri.

Amadeus is a fictionalized account of composer Antonio Salieri’s corroding envy and destruction of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and a provocative work that weaves a confrontation between mediocrity and genius into a tale of dramatic power. The Powerhouse Theatre is at 677 South Ave. in Waveny Park, New Canaan. Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for students and seniors.
