Comedy Capers Gang Show Development Fund

inspire ~ develop ~ grow

The Scouts SA Comedy Capers Development Fund aims to support and develop opportunities for Cast and Crew who demonstrate interest, strength or talent in an area within Performing Arts.

The Development Fund awards grants to members during its May theatre season (major round), as well outside the theatre season. We encourage all cast and crew to apply for funding to enhance or grow their talent. The Development Fund will consider all opportunities that will grow talent and inspire our Scouting Performing Arts community.

Since the Development Fund was established in 2014, it has provided funding to develop a variety of skills including singing, dancing, acting, sewing, hat making, social media, leadership, Youth Mental Health First Aid, digital fabrication, and much more.

Applications for the 2022 major grant round are now open. An Expression of Interest form can be filled in online, printed and returned at rehearsals by the due date, or printed and emailed to applications@ccgsdf.org.au.

The Scouts SA Comedy Capers Development Fund wouldn’t be possible without our generous supporters, which we greatly value for their contribution to developing opportunities for our Cast and Crew. If you’d like to support the Development Fund, please contact chair@ccgsdf.org.au for a chat.

If you would like to have a chat about the Development Fund, you can find one of our administrators or committee members at rehearsals, in theatre, or by email at committee@ccgsdf.org.au.
