Cumberland Gang Show is produced each year by volunteers. An amazing number of man hours go in to putting together a rehearsal script for a cast of over 144 Scouts and Guides, to designing all the sets, costumes, lighting, special effects to putting them all together and putting on a top quality amateur show.

The Gang is made up of a few main areas:

  • Production team - is led by our producer, Rob Lang, who selects the rest of his team to produce the show each year.
  • Management board - is led by our chairman, Lyall Wood, who manages all the finances, and administration side of our show.
  • Cast - made up of Scouts and Guides, aged 10 years and older
  • Backstage - made up of all the mums, dads, ex cast and parents and friends of our show who enjoy volunteering their time in one of the many backstage departments

Cast

There is nothing quite like being on stage, with the lights shining brightly down on you performing to a packed audience. It is an amazing opportunity that is available to all Scouts and Guides, and if you aren't already a member, contact us and we can help you join.

To be in the cast, you need to be at least 10 years of age as of July 1st of our performance season (July school holidays).

AUDITION APPLICATIONS FOR 2011 ARE NOW CLOSED!

Backstage

You may be a parent of a current or former cast member, an ex-cast member, or just a keen supporter of our show and are thinking seriouly about volunteering some of your time by joining one of the many backstage teams. Well, you have come to the right place! Please read on..

Every year, our show requires many volunteers to work in the backstage teams. If building the huge sets isn't your cup of tea, maybe helping to sew the many hundreds of costumes is, or maybe makeup is your forte? No matter, there is something for everyone in our show.

You may be a little uncertain or hesitate in joining a team, but our friendly team leaders will try their best to make you feel welcome, and are happy to teach you along the way.

To be involved in a backstage team, you need to be at least 16 years of age as of July 1st of our performance season (July school holidays).
