"My opening question to Zack Elzey, producer of the Utah Valley Theatre Festival that is now entering its sixth year, was an echo from a show that the 22-year-old producer likely grew up with: “Aren’t you a little young to be producing a theatre festival?” Like Phineas (from Phineas and Ferb), Elzey laughed and responded “Yes. Yes I am.”
Having shifted from a director role into a production one at the age of just 22, Elzey has produced a theatre festival that is worth watching out for in the future."
