Scout and guide gang back at usual hangout
AFTER a couple of years away from Exeter’s Barnfield Theatre, Exeter Scout and Guide Gang Show will make a welcome return to its natural home this month.
From today until Saturday Exeter Gang Show 2024 is packed full of popular songs, dance, comedy and laugh out loud sketches performed by scouts and guides from across Exeter and the local area.
The cast of almost 70 cubs, Brownies, Scouts, Guides, explorers, rangers and their leaders are coming together to raise the roof and raise a smile of audiences throughout the week.
The gang show is a mix of music, dance and comedy, with 35 songs spread across 14 scenes exploring everything from chess to the weather and dragons to construction, stitched together with sketches and dances.
Show co-producers Helen Bryant and Dave Britton said: “Exeter gang show is incredibly proud to be back at the
Barnfield Theatre. It is a real homecoming after a few years away. It gives scouts and guides ranging from age nine and up a real theatre experience, helping to build confidence, learn new skills and make life-long friends while showcasing what they can do in front of the local community.
“The show is a great night out for all the family. There really is something for everyone with sections exploring time itself, as well as rock music through the last 50 years. Most of all it brings together all ages from guiding and scouting, giving them the opportunity to perform on stage, enjoy the limelight and take away that buzz that you can only get from the roar of the crowd.”
Performances start at 7pm with a Saturday matinee at 2pm. Tickets cost £13.50 or £11.50 for concessions and are available online from https:// exeternorthcott.co.uk/events/ exeter-gang-show-2024.
