The 2010 show, 'No Strings Attached', is currently in rehearsal. Have you booked your tickets yet?

We encourage parental involvement as this makes for a healthier show, and good communication within families. We enjoy strong support from parents with assistance in Catering, Costumes, maintenance of the show's Scenery and Costumes halls.

If you are a parent of a Showtime member and are able to help out in any of the areas listed above, please contact Susan Mahler (Parents & Supporters Director).

If this could be your first year as a Camberwell Showtime parent, you may have a few questions, like ...

The difference between school and Showtime is the Scout method - the idea that education should be active, in small groups, and fun. Showtime is about developing confidence, teamwork and self-esteem.

Showtime's program has been audited against Levels 4 - 6 of the Victorian Essential Learning Standards. It supports the dimensions of Managing Personal Learning, Building Social Relationships, Working in Teams, Presenting, Creativity and Creating & Making. Showtimers are expected to keep up with their school work and make a commitment to do so as part of their application. For older students, this year, we will be running a homework club at a Scout Hall near the theatre, enabling show members to keep up with their work during the run of the show.

That depends. For most, age 11 is OK - less school pressure, lots of support, the chance to sleep in a few mornings after a 10pm finish. The cast ranges from grade 5 through VCE to university and work.

Showtime has a youth focus but it's run by trained volunteer Leaders and parents. There is a huge welfare network to ensure that the Showtime experience is a positive one for all members.

Just as in a Scout Troop or Guide Unit, the key people are the Patrol Leaders of the cast and Technical Team - youth members with previous experience in the show, who can assist new members with settling in, finding their way around and keeping up with what's going on. Then there's the Personnel Team: adults (both leaders and parents) who keep an eye on things at rehearsals, know where everyone is and make sure that everyone is safe. All adults working with young people in Showtime undergo a Working With Children Check.

Showtime has fewer rehearsals, tighter organisation, earlier shows, and a shorter performance than most equivalent shows. Why nine shows? Why go to school five days? Because you learn more! Showtimers finish a season knowing they've achieved something - rather than feeling like it was all over before they really got going!

There are no Upcoming Events scheduled at this point in time.
