Fenix Theatre Company

Fenix Theatre Company invites you to experience its 17th annual summer tradition of free
Shakespeare in Deering Oaks Park with a high-energy, heart-

lled production of Shakespeare's
AS YOU LIKE IT. This professional staging of Shakespeare’s romantic comedy features a
dynamic ensemble of ten actors playing 19 roles and is infused with beloved pop songs
spanning six decades—from the 1960s to the 2010s—adding a fresh, toe-tapping twist to a
timeless tale.
AS YOU LIKE IT de

es rigid gender roles and binaries, and dares us to open the door to a

better world; one where empathy leads the way and everyone can

nd belonging. Bring a chair
or blanket, grab your friends, and join us under the trees for a night of Shakespeare like you’ve
never seen it before!
Featuring: Samuel Cutler, Paul Fidalgo, J.Will Fritz, Becca Gracey, Jonas Maines, Luke Myers,
Prophett, Audra Reed, Hope Riordan, and Sarabell Wrigley.
