AS YOU LIKE IT by W. Shakespeare
Directed by Peter Brown, director of Fenix Theatre's celebrated "A Midsummer Night's Dream"

Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings July 17th to August 9th at 6:30pm except Saturday July 26, we will be performing on SUNDAY July 27th at 6:30pm instead.

All performances are in the wading pool and ravine area of Deering Oaks in Portland Maine, all shows are FREE to the Public! Fenix Theatre Co./ Shakespeare in the Park encourages you to bring a blanket or lawn chair, some food and beverage and bug spray. Please come early and SIT CLOSE, actors are not amplified (we can't afford it) and we usually get a lot of folks coming to see the shows so the earlier you get there the better seating you'll get.

As You Like It is one of the great comedy plays by William Shakespeare. The heroine Rosalind, one of his most inspiring characters, is the daughter of a banished duke who falls in love with Orlando the disinherited son of one of the duke's friends. When she is banished from the court by her usurping uncle, Duke Frederick , Rosalind takes on the appearance of a boy calling herself Ganymede. She travels with her cousin Celia and the jester Touchstone to the Forest of Arden, where her father and his friends live in exile. Themes about life and love, including aging, the natural world, and death are included in the play. New friends are made and families are reunited, love happens and we all have a wonderful night of theatre in our beautiful park.
