Adam's Showtime Experience

My experience of Showtime was a good one, with it being my Second Gang show performance. My favourite memory of Showtime was when Matthew Berry lost his chocolate cake to the bottom of another cast member. Here is what happened...
Matthew Berry - Susan!
Susan - What?!
Matthew Berry - Ali sat in me choccy cake!

My favourite scene was the finale because it gives you that proud feeling of completing the show especially on the last night as it makes it all worth the time and effort i put into the show. My favourite scene that I was in was behind the wall, that got some laughs. People should take part in showtime because it will be the best ten weeks you'll probably do! I think the organisers of showtime should keep up the good work!

My showtime experience was a good one and made better because of being in the playhouse.

Ali's Showtime Experience

Showtime 2011 was an awesome experience. A group of friends bonding and cross dressing together, what could be more fun? It was a tiring 9 weeks of rehearsal but after the final show finished, a sense of sadness overcame me and I nearly cried. Nearly. I look forward to two years time as I will definitely be doing Showtime again despite my scepticism of the name…The funniest memory of mine had to be was one a certain leader told a certain scout to properly push a custard tart straight into the Mona Lisa’s face ending up with said baked good right in Abi Moffat’s nose. She wasn’t best pleased. My favourite scene was Ices Ices because it involved dressing up as a woman and putting on a welsh accent which the crowds thought were hilarious. If I could say one thing that would encourage people to be involved in Showtime, it’s full of free food. I felt so fat after the show it was unreal!  To the organisers of Showtime… Thanks for an awesome time!
