NEWPORT SCOUT & GUIDE GANG SHOW 2009

The 2009 Newport Scout and Guide Gang Show will take place at the Dolman Theatre from Tuesday 5^th to Saturday 9^th 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 29^th 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.
