About

FLoYD Fest was founded in 2006 by Andy Carlson-McNab, and continues to grow and flourish in Saskatoon, SK, Canada. The festival is named after Andy’s great-uncle Floyd Carlson who saw in Andy the love of theatre and the potential to do something with it. When Floyd passed away, he generously left the money for his great-nephew to start the festival and pursue his dreams.

Now FLoYD Fest is an ever-changing and expanding group of playwrights, directors, and actors dedicated to a love of theatre. We strive to learn, educate, and get young people involved in theatre, give them a chance to test their skills, and to give youth an opportunity to express themselves where they might not otherwise have the opportunity.

Every year, we perform original shows that are written, directed, performed, and produced by people twenty-five and younger. We do it without sponsorship or grant support. We’re entirely volunteer, working simply for the love of the craft.

Five years of punk rock theatre . . . and counting.
