Teen Theatre               Now – Sat.            The Refinery

It’s silly, sometimes poignant and always relevant to aspiring youth who want to express themselves through theatre. The Floyd Festival is back for it’s 11th year with five new shows to entertain. This festival was started by Andy Carlson-McNab who named the festival after his uncle Floyd Carlson. Uncle Floyd willed the money to his great-nephew to pursue his dreams in theatre. In this festival all the writers, directors and performers are under the age of 25. Their motto is ‘Creativity, Confidence & Community’ and they are creating just that. Tickets are $10-$15.
