Hi All,
I am pleased to announce that next year we will be holding the first Gang Show for quite a few years in the Wyre Forest. The Show will be a show in a weekend and is taking place on 14th - 16th March 2025 at Stourport High School, with the actual performance being on the afternoon of Sunday 16th March. There will be good discounts for group section bookings coming to see the show so please save the date in your section diaries.
However for now we are looking for young people to express interest in joining the cast as well as Adult Volunteers willing to support the show backstage and front of house in various roles during the weekend itself. We have chosen to do a show in a weekend so there is no commitment to long rehearsals for the young people, the show is all about giving them the opportunity to get on stage and have fun.
We have a group of explorers who are going to be forming the core production team supported by a group of core volunteers. So that we have a rough idea of how many young people would be interested in taking part to give the explorers an idea of the size of cast they have to work with and so we can ensure we recruit enough adult volunteers to maintain the correct ratios to give as many young people that want to take part the opportunity to we would like to you promote the below form to all sections please.
The form is asking for an expression of interest from both young people wanting to get on the stage and adult volunteers wanting to support the show. Once we have rough numbers we will hold further meetings with the explorer production team to start fleshing out the idea and then actual cast recruitment will start towards the end of this year / early next.
We are asking all young people and adults interested to complete the form by the end of September as we are due to hold our next production meeting in October. So please pass the link below around all the young people in your section and any adult volunteers who do not receive these emails

Thanks for your support.
