Gang Show Rehearsals

As a brief backstory, Scout and Guide Gangshows have been running worldwide for close to a hundred years, and our Plymouth Gangshow this year celebrated our 38th Show.
Gangshow is an amateur variety show, with our cast and crew aged from 5 upwards and all being members of either the Scouting or Guiding movements. We have performed throughout the city at a number of venues including the Plymouth Athenaeum theatre and Barbican theatre, and in 2023 our Gangshow family was welcomed into the Devonport Playhouse for very the first time. We are very happy to be back at Devonport Playhouse for next year’s show taking place on 27th February to 1st March.
Rehearsals begin on Sunday 8th September (though if there is somebody interested in taking part but is unable to make the first rehearsal, they can just come along the following week).
Taking part in the Gangshow will earn first timers their Entertainers badge! (or Creative challenge for Beavers).
