Description
Leaflet cover for the 2017 Gang Show, the biennial variety show at the Theatre Royal presented by Nottinghamshire Scouts and Guides.
What's the story?
The Gang Show which has been going for over 60 years in Nottingham is produced on alternate years at the Theatre Royal and now involves almost 200 young people from the Scouting and Guiding movements in the county.
It is based on an idea by Ralph Reader, with the first Gang Show created in 1932
The show is a mix of songs, dance and comedy sketches, which gives the performers an opportunity to hone their skills over a six-month period of rehearsal before the week-long show in the spring.
