Support the Arts, Support the Artists, Support Live Accessible Theatre

Since our founding in 2006, Fenix Theatre Company has been committed to free performances as part of our mission to create dynamic, low-barrier theater that is accessible to all. But free theater isn’t free to produce. As a 501c3 non-profit, we are sustained almost exclusively by the generous donations of our audience.

We believe in the power of theatre to bring people together, to entertain, to educate, and to inspire. We also believe in paying local Maine artists for their time and talent, which is why the Fenix Board of Directors (who all work tirelessly in volunteer capacities) significantly increased artist salaries over the past few seasons. Combined with remaining production costs such as costumes, sets, props, marketing, crew, and technical elements... each Fenix show in the Park costs over $10,000 to bring to you, our dear audience. With the addition of Twelfth Night, remounting this December for our third year, the total cost of our season is well over $50,000.

With your support, we can continue to share the timeless magic of Shakespeare with our community. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today and be a part of a 16-year legacy of professional performances in Deering Oaks Park.

Thank you for your generosity and for being a champion of the arts. Together, we can continue to make free summer Shakespeare in Portland, Maine an unforgettable experience for all.

With heartfelt gratitude,
