NEWPORT
SCOUT & GUIDE GANG SHOW 2009
The 2009
Newport Scout and Guide Gang Show will take place at the
Dolman Theatre from Tuesday 5th to Saturday 9th May.
This year
we join the Gang on their “Gang Show Mystery Tour” for an
evening of family entertainment with popular musical items,
dance, sketch and comedy.
It is 77
years since the curtain went up on the first Ralph Reader
Gang Show in London and in Newport, the Scout and Guide Gang
Show is in its 29th year, with current cast
members who were involved in the very early productions.
The Show is
produced by a team of volunteers from within Scouting and
Guiding in Newport. Newport Gang Show does not hold
auditions, it invites members of Scouting and Guiding within
Newport to come along and have a go. The
2009 Show has a cast of 82, made up of members of both
associations. Taking part provides an
excellent opportunity for the Show youngsters to
experience the theatre, to perform on stage and to grow in
confidence.
The 2009
cast were brought together in October 2008. Our youngest
cast members are 7 years old, we couldn't possibly comment
on the age of the oldest!
Although
linked to Scouting and Guiding by its members, Newport
Gang Show is self funding and is completely reliant
upon fundraising and donations to be able to continue the
Newport Gang Show tradition.

Our aim in
Newport Gang Show is for everyone to have fun, make new
friends and to enjoy their moment of stardom.
