Since its inception in 1987, the Festival has grown to become an international leader in arts presentation with productions tailored from the very young to 16 years of age. Our success revolves around the respect we have for young people. We treat them as an audience in their own right, worthy of access to the best of professional creative talent the world has to offer.

This commitment to quality is evident in our expansive Community Arts Programs, which brings young people into contact with artists through workshops, theatrical experiences, and creative arts events. Our investment in quality is rewarded through audience engagement, artist feedback, consistent critical acclaim and widespread community demand.
