1966

Spotlight on the show

Hi there, folks! Here we are again, this time with our 8th Gang Show, this being the 5th in the Little Theatre. How time flies! It seems but a short time ago since we were operating the first show m St. John’s Hall under the title ” The Gang Steps Out.” Believe it or not, that was

In 1951 and 1953 we moved to what is now that ” Mecca ” of Bingo, the Empire Theatre where we played to packed houses (this last sentence was not necessary – we always play to packed houses, thanks to the wonderful support given by you, our faithful audience).

1958 saw the Gang for the first time on the stage we now tread, in a Musical Play entitled “We11 Live Forever.” Then followed m 1960 the first show in Middlesbrough with the privileged title of “The Gang Show.” This well-earned, and we feel, well merited privilege was repeated in

Now here we are in 1966 with a show which we feel certain you will enjoy as well and possibly even better than those in the past. The memory will linger pleasantly with you all until the time comes to once again bring you ” The Gang Show.”

With an even bigger cast than ever before (takes some believing but it is true) and following intensive rehearsals since Christmas under the expert guidance of our producer, Irwin Greenwood and his able assistants, the aim is to please you all and have you go away in the knowledge that all is well with the Youth of to-day in general and the Boy Scout Movement in particular
