Now if you really want to join in on a fantastic activity where you can have a lot of fun and learn lots of drama skills, then I could not go past recommending the Gang Show crew. Of many of the worthwhile things you can get out of scouting, this is definitely one of them. I would certainly recommend you give consideration to being involved in this, it is definitely worthwhile. Please, I encourage you to do so.
If you wish to find out more and try it out, then an introductory session will be held at East Gosford Scout Hall, 4pm-7pm on Sunday 16th November 2008. I would urge you all to attend, at least to see what its all about. It doesn't hurt to try.
So for those of you that have not been to a past Gang Show performance and Avoca Beach always attends each year as a group, then read on.
Gang Show is an exciting and challenging activity for scouting youth members of all ages. It offers the opportunity to develop imagination within strict guidelines. It enhances leadership skills and particularly self confidence. Youth will develop better interpersonal relationships with people who are both considerably younger and considerably older than themselves. Young people who are naturally extroverts find an outlet for their talents, but the people who benefit most are the shy and introverted scouts who don't seem to have any particular skills.
Scouts Australia encourages the performing arts as part of its programming. Many Scouting members have received basic experience and moved onto bigger and better things by starring in a Gang Show. These shows give cast and crew vital confidence and experience in a variety of areas from acting and stage management to costume and set design.
“Melbourne Gang Show was a highlight for me as it gave me my thirst for performing,” says Shane Jacobson, star of the movie Kenny.
Writer, actor and comedian Dave O'Neil says: "Gang Show is where I got my first taste of showbiz!"
No don't be scared I encourage you to take up the challenge. Please go along on the Sunday (in uniform) to find out more, you have nothing to lose but plenty to gain!If you need more information please ask me.
Musca.
