Peterborough Gang Show 2026
The Peterborough Gang Show is back for 2026 and they are keen to get you involved! If you run a unit, why not book a taster session? Or could you help take on a role in the production or non-production teams?
Taster evening
Members of the gang show will come and run the whole evening for you; all they ask is that you get the young people to wear suitable clothing and shoes for movement and that you invite parents to come and watch for the last 15 minutes of the session.
They will teach your young people some singing, dancing and speaking parts. The exact content of the session may vary depending on your young people, both when they speak to you before the evening but also on the evening if they feel the young members are enjoying one of the elements more than the others!
The evening will give them a taster of Peterborough Gang Show so they can decide whether they would like to be part of the cast.
