LOVE’S LABOR’S LOST
directed by Katelyn Manfre
Welcome to the beautiful island of Navarre! The King and three of his lords have forsworn the company of women and dedicated themselves to their studies – just as the Princess of France arrives on business with her three ladies in tow. Rich characters, lively original music, and wild wordplay abound in this fast-paced comedy perfect for a summer night.
Bring a chair, pack a picnic, and join us for Shakespeare in Deering Oaks Park as this beloved Fenix tradition returns for its 16th season in Portland, Maine!
Don’t miss this energetic production, featuring a talented cast of 8 local Maine actors and original songs by Paul Fidalgo.

“When humans wanted to imitate walking, they invented the wheel, which does not resemble a leg.” – Apollinaire
Part musical, part opera, part immersive, feminist, surrealist, gender expansive romp, and yet fully Hogfish, join us for the Maine premiere of Francis Poulenc and Guillaume Apollinaire’s BREASTS OF TIRESIAS. Performed in a special English language, two piano-version arranged by Benjamin Britten and Viola Tunnard, in the state-of-the art night club AURA in downtown, Portland followed by TERESA’S TATAS! , the interactive dance party with tunes and themes from the show woven into a night of empowering electronica by DJ xnrg.
This new kind of double-bill asks, how can we make love instead of war, both on stage and in the audience? What binaries do we all need to transcend to become and rejoice in our authentic selves?
Dress Code: Pink, blue, and white outfits celebrating your authentic self in any style are highly encouraged.
Brought to you by the same team as last summer’s sold out hit, CarmXn!
BREASTS OF TIRESIAS running time: 55 minutes
