Name: Julie Anne Allen

Role: Producer

How long have you been involved with Gang Show: I joined the cast in 1985 then became a choreographer for the show in 1990. I then became an assistant Producer and finally Producer in 2004

How are you involved in Scouting/Guiding: I was involved in Guiding until I was about 15 years old and then joined Scouting. At the age of 18 I became an assistant Cub leader which I loved. I am now a Creative skills instructor for the Scout association.

What are your aims for Gang Show: To provide a safe and fun environment for as many scouts and guides in Basingstoke whilst creating a stage show that they can be proud of. To continue to help the cast of the show to build friendships, confidence and memories which will last a lifetime.

What's the best thing about being involved with the show: Friendships and a huge sense of achievement on the last night of the show.

What other interests do you have outside of Gang Show: My 2 children keep me very busy and I enjoy wedding planning.

If Gang Show had an unlimited budget what would you do: It would be great to have a larger cast and perhaps perform our show in the West end.

What's your most embarrassing moment on and off stage: I had an allergic reaction to the stage makeup one year and my eyes swelled up and I still had to go on stage!
