2024 marks the 16th year of The Teenys Gala. It all began in 2008 - Islip Arts Council's version of the Tony Awards for the Township's high school theater students. The objective is to recognize outstanding talent and encourage students to continue their education and pursue careers in performing arts and theater.

This year's talented theater performers from Town of Islip high schools took to the Red Carpet at 5:30pm and the show started at 7pm at Brentwood High School. The funds contributed through donations and sponsorships are applied to scholarship awards and the administration of this innovative student presentation.
