WHAT DOES GANG SHOW MEAN IN ENGLISH?

gang show

Gang Show

A Gang Show is a theatrical performance with a cast of mostly youth members of Scouts and Guides. Some Gang Shows also permit adult members of Scouts and Guides to join the cast. Adult members of the two movements and parents help out behind the scenes. The aim of the shows is to give young people in Scouting and Guiding the opportunity to develop performance skills and perform in a close to professional theatrical environment. Opportunities are also often afforded to young people to work backstage, in front-of-house roles and as musicians in musical items and in the pit band. The production teams and cast, all volunteers, participate in many hours of planning, writing, composing, choreographing, building stage scenery/props, making costumes and rehearsing for several months before the actual performances. In order to reach the required performance standard for a Gang Show, a high level of commitment is needed from all involved in the production as well as support from their families. A typical Gang Show would require participants to attend between 15 and 30 rehearsals in preparation for the performances.
