The Teenys Gala began in 2009 - 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 the performing arts and theater.
This year's talented theater performers from Town of Islip high schools will take to the Red Carpet at 5:00pm and the show starts 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.
