PARK EXPERIENCE

Q: Is there a bathroom in the Park?
A: There are two accessible port-a-potties near the performance area.

Q: Can I bring food and beverages? 
A: Yes, please! We highly recommend it!

​

Q: Can I smoke in the park?

A: No. Smoking and vaping are prohibited.

​

Q: What else should I bring?
A: We recommend you bring a chair (for prime views!) or blanket, a layer in case it gets chilly, and sunscreen or bug spray depending on the weather! For audience members who like to keep their hands busy, we also welcome you to bring knitting, embroidery, quiet fidgets, or whatever else is helpful!

​

Q: Can I bring my dog?

A: As long as your dog is well-behaved and leashed at all times, yes!

​

Q: Can I bring a big group?

A: Yes please! If you need a reserved seating area for a large group or have accessibility needs, please email production@fenixtheatre.com

​

KEEPING FREE THEATER FREE

Q: Do I need a ticket? 

A: You do not need a ticket, but we recommend making a free reservation HERE. That way you'll get show reminders, and we can email you in case of cancellation due to weather. You don't need to check in at all when you arrive! You can also always just show up.

​

Q: It's free, right?

A: Yes! However, free theater is not free to produce. As a nonprofit organization run by a volunteer board of directors, we rely heavily on your donations to cover production costs and pay our artists for their time and talent. Each summer Fenix show costs approximately $14,000 to produce.

​

Q: How can I donate?
A: We take cash, check, and Venmo (@fenix-theatre) donations in the park before and after the show. Or click here to donate via PayPal/credit card anytime.

Q: How much should I donate?
A: Our suggested donation is at least $20/person or $40/family. If you have the means to donate more, it helps us keep our donate-what-you-can model for those who need it.

A $20 donation gets you a show-specific vinyl sticker; for AS YOU LIKE IT we have two designs so you can get both if you donate $40!

​​

CONTENT & KIDS
Q: Is the show appropriate for children?
A: Yes! Fenix is known for big physical comedy and fast-paced performances that are accessible to and loved by all ages. AS YOU LIKE IT is not particularly bawdy and has two moments of fighting - one is a wrestling match and the other is a brotherly skirmish. Kiddos are welcome to get up to wiggle and move behind the audience, and there's a wading pool nearby for extra splashy fun. 

​

Q: Remind me, what's the plot of AS YOU LIKE IT?

A: Check out our plot & character guide here! (Link coming soon.)

​

Q: How long is the show?

A: At time of writing, we estimate AS YOU LIKE IT will run 90 minutes without intermission - from 6:30pm to 8:00pm.

​

Q: Will you tell me what songs are in the show?

A: No spoilers! You'll just have to come to find out! 

 

ACCESSIBILITY
Q: What is the parking situation?
A: There is parking along the paths in Deering Oaks Park when you enter from Deering Avenue. You can also try parking on State Street, Park Ave, or Deering Ave. We recommend arriving a little early to find parking, walk over, and get settled. 

​

Q: Is the performance space accessible for wheelchairs?

A: There is disability parking along the paths in Deering Oaks Park, and accessible pathways from there to the performance area. Please note the ground may be soft depending on weather conditions once leaving the sidewalks. ​

​

Q: Where exactly are you performing AS YOU LIKE IT?

A: In the heart of the park, just over the footbridge. The same location as Love's Labor's Lost (2024) and The Tempest (2022). See the map below.
