It features theatre performers, dancers, and visual artists—all aged 11-26—as well as participants in the Cultch mentorship programs. In its 19th year, the festival also includes the production of five new One Act Plays by local youth playwrights. In addition, each of the main festival nights offer a diverse spread of performances in a variety-show style under a theme; from Paranormal Investigation to Day At The Fair.
