2017ADELAIDE GANG SHOW

SPONSORSHIP PACKAGE

Adelaide Gang Show:

A place for fun, friends & family

Adelaide Gang Show is a non-for-profit organisation for members of scouting and guiding to build skills and confidence in a supportive family environment.

Adelaide Gang Show (AGS) is an annual variety show run within the Performing Arts sections of the Scout and Guide Associations of South Australia. AGS aims to give young people the opportunity to develop skills in the performing arts, and the confidence to express themselves on and off the stage. Our show is run by a large network of volunteers who run our non-profit organisation within a theatrical environment.

Adelaide Gang Show began in 1961 at the Unley Town Hall. Now more than 50 years on, we take our cast of over 100 Scouts and Guides to the stage at the Scott Theatre in the heart of the city. Each year we perform to over 2,500 people over six shows, which our teams work year round to put together.

The cast are supported by over 150 crew members who are involved in a range of areas such as lighting design, orchestra, set design and costuming. Between cast, crew, parent supporters, audience members and the greater Scouting and Guiding communities, there is a great opportunity for communication and promotion of businesses and organisations partnered with Adelaide Gang Show.

WHAT IS ADELAIDE GANG SHOW?

“Adelaide Gang Show promotes the enjoyment, understanding and development

of the performing arts in South Australia through varying and engaging artistic

experiences by providing quality, diverse opportunities for all, inspiring participation

in the creation, comprehension and appreciation of the arts.”

OUR VALUES

1. To use performing arts to instill the principles of scouting and guiding in young people, so helping them to become more confident, capable and valued citizens. 2. Provide a safe, supportive and challenging environment for our members to develop confidence, leadership skills and creativity; whilst creating a dynamic learning organisation, allowing cast and crew to express themselves and not be afraid of who they are.

3. Respect and value diversity, creating an environment inclusive of all members.

4. To give the participants an enriching and rewarding experience. 5. To enhance the reputation of scouting and guiding within the membership and amongst the broader community.

“Seeing young people come out of their shells and turn into more confident, outgoing, creative, happier and socially aware versions of themselves is what Adelaide Gang Show is all about.”Darran Swain, Adelaide Gang Show Director

“Adelaide Gang Show has allowed me to grow in character and provide me the chance to be part of a dynamic, socially rich and theorectical environment. Tom Laing, Cast Coordinator

“I have done this for over half my life so it truly has become a part of who I am. This has given me all the confidence I needed to not only perform in Adelaide Fringe shows but to be who I am too.”Claire Whittenbury, Cast Coordinator

“Gangshow is a good way to make friends and have fun, it’s an amazing experience“Josh Jones, Cast Member (8 years Old)

“I was very nervous to join Gang Show last year; afraid I wouldn’t fit in, however they all welcomed myself and all of the other new members with open arms. Through-out the season we developed friendships and made some great memories that we wont forget any time soon.Amy Paech, Head Choreographer

“Adelaide Gang Show isn’t just a per-forming arts group, it’s a family. You’re surrounded by people who are there for you, who not only share the same passion and love for performing but also Scouting and Guiding. It’s a great platform to begin your journey and build those skills but most of all create amazing memories and lifelong friends while having loads of fun!”Alana Willett & Maddie Gray, Marketing Directors

Being in Adelaide Gang Show has given me life skills that I wouldn’t have if I was never a part of the production. The show gave me the confidence to come out of my shell and perform to hundreds of people every night.... It has helped me inways that nothing else could.”Jimmy Harrington, Former Cast Member & Pride of Australia Medalist

“I started gangshow when I was 9 and have been involved for 14 years this year. Having been around such a positive and friendly group of people for so long i can’t imagine my life without Adelaide Gang-show. The show has helped me improve my confidence and theatre skills, but most importantly it has also given me friendships that will last a lifetime”Matt Barnett, Musical Assistant

“Being a part of Adelaide Gang Show has allowed me to continue following my passion of theatre and performing arts in a friendly and supportive environment. It has given me the confidence to perform in the Adelaide Fringe Festival two years in a row, and even in the Adelaide Entertainment Centre as a part of Harvest Rain’s production of Hairspray.”Max Ford, Cast Patrol Leader and Member

“Gang Show gave me a taste of theatre as a child. Acting singing and dancing - I got to develop these skills, having fun all the way. I’ve been lucky enough to take these passions further, recently performing in my first Adelaide Fringe show, as well as competing in dancing. Now I am able to help others to get their first taste of performing, writing sketches and helping them become better actors. If they have half the fun I’ve had, they’re in for a great experience!”Simon Barnett, Sketch Consultant

“A fantastic environment to learn and teach young and old members the fundamentals of theatre and make friends for life.”Craig Wall, Head of Technical Crew
