Here are this years audition details:

​

1st Marple Scouts H.Q.

Wednesday 21st October 2026
20:15 - 21:15

​

You don't need to prepare anything for auditions, just arrive with your biggest smile and lots of enthusiasm. We will sing through some songs in groups and learn some simple movement. You won't be required to do anything on your own.

We aim to be as inclusive as possible at Marple Gang Show so to audition there is only one simple criteria: You must be an active member of Scouting or Girlguiding, in Marple, in school year six or older.

Being part of the Gang Show cast does require a large time commitment, but we promise it will be worth it!

​

Our rehearsals are held in the afternoon/evening of every Wednesday and Sunday from January to March. We take a short break from rehearsals for February half term. We expect all of our cast to be at every rehearsal where possible, but understand there are occasionally unavoidable clashes.

​

All cast must be available for both dress rehearsals (Sunday 7th March and Sunday 14th March) and all 11 performances (Thursday 18th March 2027 to Saturday 27th March 2027, excluding Sunday 21st March 2027).

We aim to be as inclusive as possible at Marple Gang Show, so we try to keep costs to an absolute minimum.

​

Our cast costs are being covered slightly differently this year. All cast are required to pay a non-refundable 'show fee' if selected, this will go towards covering the cost of:

​

• Your show t-shirt

• Rehearsal refreshments

• Gang Show badge (for first timers)

• Red necker (for first timers)

• Our two cast parties

​​

Our 2027 cast fee will be £30 for cast members under 18 years of age and £20 for adult cast members.

​

There are other items that cast members are required to have for the show, such as black and white pumps, and an up to date uniform. These items will need to be purchased unless you already own them.

​

We also have optional extras available for purchase such as a Gang Show hoodie and show DVD. These items are completely optional and you can take part without purchasing them.

It takes a lot of adult support to put on a show. So, to help make sure we have enough help, we ask that a parent/carer of each cast member volunteers at least once during our show run.

​

There are lots of different volunteer roles with differing time commitments so we're sure you will find something that suits you.

After auditions, our production team get to work selecting our cast. As we often have a large number of people auditioning, this can take a while.

​

We aim to let everyone know if they have been successful or not via email in late November 2026.

​

Before we send out confirmations we will get in touch with your leaders to check you are an active member of Scouting or Girlguiding.

If you have any problems or questions please feel free to get in touch with our production team. They will be happy to help!
