Founded in 1956, Hobart Gang Show aims to give young people in Scouting and Guiding the opportunity to develop performance skills and perform in a close to professional theatrical environment.
Young people, aged from 11, may be involved with writing the script, music and songs as well as perform. Youth aged from 16 may also be involved with choreography, assist with directing the show and perform in it or instead of being on stage, help out in many other areas of the production including sets, props, costumes, band, sound, lighting and back stage crew. All members are volunteers with the cast and crew being made up primarily of youth members of Scouts and Guides.
Hobart Gang Show welcomes any registered member of Scouts and Girl Guides Tasmania, aged from 11 to be part of the show. Auditions are usually held late March/early April with rehearsals commencing during May and curtain up in September.
