Rehearsals for HENRY IV PART 1 are in full swing!

🌲🎭 Fenix Theatre Company returns to Deering Oaks Park starting July 9th, 2026 to present Shakespeare’s most thrilling coming-of-age story directed by Peter Brown with musical direction by Sam Finn Cutler. In HENRY IV, PART 1, young Prince Hal wastes his nights in taverns with the outrageous Sir John Falstaff and a band of rogues—while rebellion brews against his father’s crown.

By turns riotously funny and deeply stirring, this play explores honor, loyalty, and the painful but necessary path from youth to responsibility. It’s the story of a prince who must decide what kind of man—and what kind of king—he will become.

With sword fights! ⚔️ 🍻
