Ahoy DCU Drama Alumni! (or if you're still a student in DCU, then you're on this list by accident, sorry) The rumours are true. Many many years after Kevin Delaney ambitiously inquired about the rights, DCU Drama are proud to announce that we will be putting on Ireland's first major-venue production of RENT! It's all happening in the Helix in March 2009 and we would like you, our illustrious alumni, to be there when it does. John Donnelly, 5-time winner of the AIMS Best Director Award is behind the wheel, and yours truly (god help me) is heading up the production team. Keep an eye on the website at www.dcuforrent.com!

[Drama-alumni] Correction RE: Best Year Ever at BICS
by Roibeárd Ó Mhurcú SPC Chair 2007/08 21 Apr '08

21 Apr '08

*should have researched more* I should apologise for claiming that this year was the best ever for DCU at the BICS Awards; it is, however, a draw. DCU, in 2002/03, won Best Society (DCU Drama), Best Individual (Cliona Casserly, DCU Drama) & Best Fresher (Riona JudgeMcCormack, ArtHaus), which for those of you who are adding it all up, equals 3 awards, the same as this year. Woopsie, and sorry about that. Hugs?

[Drama-alumni] Holy Crap! Week 12: BICS Success, Six Semesters, Book Soc Anthology Launch, DCU Art Party, DADAs & More!
by Roibeárd Ó Mhurcú SPC Chair 2007/08 21 Apr '08

21 Apr '08

Wow, It's been a great week for DCU Societies.... and I can't believe it's already week 12... but here we go! * DCU kick ass at the BICS! (Board of Irish College Societies) Well, there's no other way to put it really. DCU Societies left the rest of the country to shame on Thursday night, coming away with THREE national BICS awards! Winners included: Best Society (Large College): DCU Drama Best Event (Large College): DCU Style Soc Fashion Show Best Website (Large College): DCU Computer Networking Society - http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie This represents the single most successful night DCU has ever had at the BICS. A massive well done to all of our winners and nominees! MPS, DCU Drama & John McKeown Present: "Six Semesters" This week sees the coming of the much anticipated film "Six Semesters," Ireland's first feature-length student-produced film, to DCU. Set over the course of (you guessed it) six semesters, this film has been in the making now for over two years and its director John McKeown has been tweaking and perfecting it over the past few weeks making sure that audiences will not be disappointed! A major feat for the college and all involved, be sure to head along to HG23 in the Nursing Building on Tuesday or Thursday at 7.30 or Wednesday at 3 o'clock to see the finished product. Admission is 4 euro. A steal at the price! Summer Ball Volley Ball Tournament: *The Students' Union are looking for clubs and societies to put forward teams to compete in the volley ball tournament that will take place as part of the Summer Ball this Wednesday. The tournament kicks off at 6:30 and each team should consist of 4 players: 2 girls and 2 guys. There'll be prizes for the team with the best uniform and the best theme song (bring it on a cd!) Teams do not need to be affiliated with any club or society so start recruiting your players now! For more information please e-mail Joey at clubsandsocs(a)dcusu.ie *'Set in Stone' Creative Writing Anthology Launch:* DCU Book Soc are proud to announce the launch of their first ever creative writing anthology. Featuring thirty original short stories and poems by DCU students and drawings by members of DCU Art Society, 'Set in Stone', is the culmination of a colossal amount of work carried out over the past few months. 'Set in Stone' will be launched this coming *Thursday, the 24th of April, in The Hub*. All students are welcome to come and help Book Soc celebrate the launch. Keep your eyes peeled for posters about campus mid-week with exact details about this event. To reserve a copy of 'Set in Stone', please e-mail booksoc(a)gmail.com Style Soc AGM The Style AGM is being held on Wednesday at 2pm. The place is yet to be announced so keep your eyes peeled! The AGM will consist of a short review of the year and the election of a new committee for next year. Art Soc Open the Old Bar DCU Art are opening the Old Bar this Tuesday for their end of year party and exhibition. Entry is free and doors are at 8pm. Everyone's invited for the last big society bash of the year. *DCU Drama: The DADAs!* After the unbelievable year that DCU Drama have had (winning the *ISDA Intervarsity Competition* & *Best Society in Ireland*), the DCU Annual Drama Awards take place this *Thursday night in the nuBar at 7pm!* Will you be nominated? Will you win? Who knows? But you'd better show up! Cos, y'know, there'll be free food. See you there! *Ehm, A Personal Note...* Having been chair of the SPC for the last two fantastic years, it's gonna break my heart to leave DCU. Unless there's one of those cushty PhD gigs knocking around, I'm outta here. I'd just like to say that societies in DCU have been a huge part of my education here, possibly moreso than the whole degree/masters dealy. Never have I met so many individuals possessed of such community spirit, such drive and dedication or such *joire de vive* than the members of DCU societies. You, collectively, are the lifeblood of this college and don't you dare forget it! It's been EPIC.
