Nevertheless, the festival is going to be a big waste of effort, all that is on offer is plays / musicals and the like. Sure thats fine, but you need different ideas to attract people like me who look for something fun and exciting to go and see. I am sure I will check out the festival one way or another simply to review it.

I wonder if they imagine 'the young people' to be the Straight Out of Brisbane crowd, so leave it to that festival to offer anything that might not have a guaranteed turn up. I was equally perplexed about who the target audience would be but just thought it was another one of those things I don't understand about Brisbane. Could the organisers be trying to cater for the city's schizophrenic identity with the population apparently undergoing a big process of change? I am, after all, another one of those invaders from the South, so am poorly qualified to speculate... Good on you for asking.
