Fenix Theatre Company invites you to Deering Oaks Park for a thrilling production of The Tempest by William Shakespeare, directed by Stacey Koloski.

One of Shakespeare’s finest (and final) plays, The Tempest is a story of betrayal, revenge and redemption. This summer, the Park will be transformed into the remote island where Prospero – the former Duke of Milan – was shipwrecked with his young daughter after being overthrown and exiled by his own brother. After 12 years, and with the help of a mischievous island sprite, Prospero uses magic and manipulation to exact revenge and reclaim his Dukedom.

Bring your folding chairs or blankets, pack a picnic, and head to the Park!

Fenix Theatre Company presents a production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night that’s fit for the season. Directed by Fenix Artistic Director Peter Brown, 12TH NIGHT: SHAKESPEARE & SONG shimmers, shines, and delivers festive cheer for the whole family. It runs December 7-18, 2022 at Stevens Square Community Center in Portland.
Originally mounted in 2021, Peter Brown explains why this critically-acclaimed production is back by popular demand: “Audience response last December was phenomenal. The reviews were utter raves. My 6-year-old son saw the production 3 times in a week, transfixed the entire time. We had a smash hit on our hands, unfortunately cut short just as word-of-mouth was building. I am so grateful that this incredible group of artists were able to regroup and share this gem of a production with as many families as possible.”
