Do you want to be part of a new Scout theatre production?
Then you are invited to join a group of Scouts, Venturers, Rovers, and adults supporting a family fun show performed by Joey and Cub Scouts from all around Tasmania. No experience is needed.
What are we doing?
We are inviting older Scouts, Venturers, Rovers, and adult members to be part of a team making Junior Showtime come to life.
There will be four rehearsals and two performances, and each show will be 90 minutes long (including a break). The show will have 4 songs and 4 acts.
When is this?
A series of 4 rehearsals and two performances.
• Rehearsal 1: Saturday 23rd May, 1:00pm to 4:00pm.
• Rehearsal 2: Saturday 13th June, 1:00pm to 4:00pm.
• Rehearsal 3: Saturday 27th June, 1:00pm to 4:00pm.
• Rehearsal 4: Saturday 11th July, 1:00pm to 4:00pm.
• Performance 1: Saturday 18th July, 1:00pm to 2:30pm.
• Performance 2: Saturday 18th July, 4:00pm to 5:30pm.
Why are we doing this?
Because this is going to be so much fun! Hobart Gang Show have had many Joeys and Cubs interested in being part of a show, but nothing quite suitable for this age group. We also have many Scouts, Venturers and Rovers that cannot commit to a full season of Hobart Gang Show. This is also a chance to experience being part of the theatre for some people that may not otherwise get the opportunity. All youth members are welcome to use this as a Special Interest Area project (more on this later).
Our Commitments;
We have written and will manage the performance of a show specifically suited for young people with their fun, empowerment and development as the focus. We will attempt to give everyone a role they can enjoy and be proud of.
A team of leaders, Rovers, Venturers and Scouts will manage rehearsals in a safe, respectful and inclusive manner. We know that young people have different needs and abilities and we are prepared to assist and guide all youth members as they need along the way.
Your Commitments;
We ask that any person supporting the show, in any capacity does so in a way suitable to their needs and interests, and does not overwhelm themselves with too much workload. The rehearsal and performance of a show is difficult for all involved. We ask everyone to keep in contact and let us know of anything we can do to help.
Young performers may need help to practice their performance and remember songs, acts or dances. Please support them as best you can but also understand that the finished performance will be fun and more interesting even if mistakes are made or songs are off tune.
There is no fee for those people volunteering in a supporting role, but they must be financially registered and policy compliant through Scouts Tasmania. For Rovers and other adults, this means holding a current WWVP, adult registration and being up to date with online modules.
