Why Support Fenix?

Since 2008, Fenix Theatre Company has brought free, professional Shakespeare to the heart of Portland, Maine—transforming Deering Oaks Park into a stage where community gathers, laughter echoes, and the timeless words of the Bard come alive. Fenix also offers one of Portland’s newest holiday traditions, 12th Night: A Holiday Musical, hosted at the newly renovated Stevens Square Theater.

Our mission is to create dynamic, inclusive, and low-barrier theatre experiences that are relevant and accessible to all community members.  Fenix values the passion and brilliance of local artists, aiming to produce work that ranges from the beautiful to the brutal, always rooted in truth and the collaborative imagination between artists and audiences.

This summer, we’re preparing to raise the curtain once again, and we’re reaching out to local businesses like yours to help make it possible.

Consider Sponsoring Today
 

Our 2025 season is ambitious and while Fenix has been free to attend, it’s not free to produce. We rely solely on the donation of patrons and sponsors like yourself to attain our funding.

Our 2025 fundraising goal is $50,000 and we have a long way to go to ensure our artists are paid and shows are mounted successfully. You can be the difference for Fenix Theatre Company and the many artists we employ to make these productions possible!
