[Drama-alumni] This Week...One Act Festival!
by Roibeard O Mhurcu 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

Ahoy Dramaheads! Lots happening this week (for a change, hah!) ONE ACT WONDER FESTIVAL: Is happening this week from Monday to Thursday in St. Pat's, Drumcondra. Our two one act plays that some of you saw during Arts Week will both be performing again tonight (Monday) from about 7.30pm. If you missed out on the chance to see them before, you simply cannot afford to miss them again! Tickets are terribly cheap - just 4 euro for the night OR a measly 10 euro for a week's admission! The festival runs until Thursday night and finishes with a zany evening of workshops, Whose line and other random madness before retiring to the Cat & Cage for the prize-giving ceremony and karaoke:) More fun than you can shake a big stick at! In other news, we need volunteers to help out at the festival... we need people to help out in the front of house dept, selling tickets and showing people to their seats and whatnot...your prize will be free admission! Can't beat that really, contact Joe at elo(a)dcudrama.ie to offer your services! THE SOCS BALL: Finally, it's actually happening this week! We're counting on our Drama members to Make A Scene! If you haven't collected/paid for your ticket, contact Shane at treasurer(a)dcudrama.ie to sort it out... PANTO! PANTO! PANTO! PANTO! Yup, this bit is about the Panto. Funnily enough. I've been watching some of the rehearsals and this show is going to be one of the funniest things Drama do all year! It's got everything - merry men, maids, babes, smut, singing, dancing and all kinds of craziness! You cannot afford to miss it, it's all happaning in the Venue during week 11 - watch out for our posters! MURDER MYSTERY QUIZ in association with MURDER SHE WROTE SOC: On Thursday night in the Venue, Murder She Wrote are having a Murder Mystery Quiz night! It's a bit like a table quiz, except there's a corpse and the object is to determine whodunnit. Kickass, DCU Drama will be helping out on the night, come one, come all and display your sleuthing skills! HOODIES: We are currently exploring the idea of getting hoodies for our members. There is quite an active forum on life.dcu.ie discussing this very topic - go check it out and give us your opinion! I realise that there are a few bugs with the forum page, such as when you click on "forum" you get a message that reads: "MySQL has encountered an unknown error. To find out the exact problem, please set the DEBUG flag to true in header.php," so here's what you do... 1: Go to life.dcu.ie and log in. If you cannot log in, you're in trouble and we can't help ya there. 2: Click on "Forum." You'll see the above bit of computer jargon - FRET NOT! Keep reading... 3: Click on "Today's Posts" 4: You'll see "Hoodies" under the "Subject" column. Click on "Hoodies" and give us your thoughts! Right, that's it - get out there and Make A Scene!

[Drama-alumni] Getting Alumni involved
by Riona Judge McCormack 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

Dear alumni (alumnus?) Just dropping you all a quick note because we'd like to find way to keep you involved with DCU societies/clubs/union! As everyone knows, its the alumni of a university that can really make a difference to student activities. Since it seems like we can't get rid of a lot of you :), the SPC are looking into ways of building up links with alumni and finding something useful for ye to do. Is there something you'd like to be helping out with? Do you think you have skills/ talents that could be passed on? Do you get angry because "it's not the way it was in your day"? Some of you may never want to set foot in DCU again, but if you do have a burning desire to still be involved in some way, I'd really appreciate it if you could drop me a brief e-mail with any ideas about how that could be done - training, awards, etc. There have been some great suggestions, such as getting together a student history of DCU, and so I just want to get a sense of what else people are thinking. This is a very incomplete mailing list, so please feel free to pass this on to any other alumni you know and love. There may also be a party coming up, but more on that soon... Many thanks, Riona (soon-to-be-alumni-too) Judge McCormack 0861625907 Oh, and if you haven't already, it's probably worth checking out http://life.dcu.ie as alumni can log in and post up on the forums.

[Drama-alumni] This Week in Drama!
by Roibeard O Mhurcu 15 Nov '05

15 Nov '05

Ahoy Campers! It's Arts Week, which means Drama are going nuts again. For a change... Coming up this week: ONE ACT PLAYS: The enterprising and intrepid casts of our two one-act plays will be strutting their stuff at 2pm in the Interfaith today (Tues), tomorrow and Thursday. We have the hilarious, student-penned "The Play's the Thing," a Hamlet based short AND our own adaptation of "The Breakfast Club." You'll laugh, you'll cry and we're hoping you won't hurl. (Old reference I know...) BUT the best part is they're FREE. So come along and enjoy! STARS IN THEIR EYES: (In association with MPS and ArtSoc) ...will be happening in the Venue at 7.30 Wednesday night. We have a wide and talented range of singers, and it promises to be a smashing evening. Tickets are an abnormally cheap 5 euro and a paltry 4 euro for members of Drama, MPS and ArtSoc. Look out for our stand in the HUB :) WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY?: After our bonanza performance at the 25th Anniversary Bash on Friday night, having been inundated with requests, we have decided to do it all over again! Pop along to the New Bar at 3pm Wednesday to see the mayhem for yourself... IT'S FREE. WORKSHOPS: We have a Production Workshop next Tuesday night (22nd) in the Venue (tbc) at 8pm. Anyone who is already producing a show for Drama WE NEED YOU THERE. The Lovely Elaine Bannon will be displaying her talents for all to see. Seriously though, she co-produced last year's musical, so knows her stuff. Anyone interested in getting involved in producing shows is welcomed, nay implored to come along. It's FREE (today's catchword) and sure we might venture out for a pint afterwards... DCU OPEN DAY: Is happening this Saturday the 19th. Drama will be setting up a stand and holding another zany workshop, and we need volunteers to help out! Contact me at chair(a)dcudrama.ie to lend your support to lassoing next year's freshers! GODS & GODDESSES NIGHT: This Thursday in the New Bar our friends in Debate Soc are having a "Gods & Goddesses" party. There will be prizes for best dressed, worst dressed and most divine couple! Its in the new bar at around 8.30pm and there will be "drink promotions": FX alcopops €3, Fosters €3 and Twisters shots €1.50, or buy two get one free. Beat that! MORE AUDITIONS: One of our members, Alan Flanagan, is shooting a short movie ("Love Hate Hope Fear") and needs actors and actresses! Get your mug on camera and head on over to CG05 & CG06 at 6pm this Wednesday and Thursday... SOCS BALL TIX: There are still a few heads out there who haven't gotten around to paying for the Socs Ball tickets they ordered through Drama. We realise that all of the ATMs on campus (as well as the one in Eurospar across the road, according to reports) are out of action, so we understand if it's a pain in the butt to lay your hands on some cash right now. Please contact treasurer(a)dcudrama.ie to let us know you're still interested. Enough already, and enjoy Arts Week! Bob -- Roibeard O Mhurcu # 54144094 CS2 Class Rep.

[Drama-alumni] This Week! Rocky Horror! More Auditions! Etc!
by Roibeard O Mhurcu 25 Oct '05

25 Oct '05

Hi Alums!! More news from Drama this week, sorry it's a little late tho (my bad) Bob GorBleedinBlimeyGuvnor! There's just sooo much stuff going on this week in DCU Drama, it's all a little overwhelming. But we persevere, because WE ARE DRAMA, DAMMIT! Righty Ho, first off, Drama have managed to get their grubby little hands on an undisclosed number of tickets for the Socs Ball, the premier night out of the college year. We will offer said tickets to our members BEFORE they go on sale to the general public at exactly the same price. We only have a few, so it's first come, first served! Sorry... The Socs Ball is probably the most in-demand ticket of the year (with the exception of DCU Drama's annual musical), and last year tickets went on sale at 10am and sold out at 10.25. And if you hadn't been queuing since 8.30, you were shit outta luck. It's all happening at the Burlington Hotel on the 29th of November, and tickets are a bargain bin 45 euro. Email your name and phone number to dcudrama(a)gmail.com and we will provide tickets for you in the order in which we receive the emails. It's the fairest way :) THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW is upon us again! This year, we are holding it in association with the SU Halloween Ball on Thursday night the 27th (this Thursday!). It's a great opportunity to put on women's clothes (if you're a guy) or dress really slutty (if you're a girl, a guy, or other). We then get to sit in the Venue, watch the Rocky Horror Picture Show, scream, yell abuse, throw stuff, sing and dance. It's what Drama is all about, and has become an annual favourite of our members. Here's the deal: Tickets for the Halloween Ball are 8 euro. HOWEVER, Drama are offering discount priced tickets to our members! 'Cos we looove our members, basically. So if you're a member of DCU Drama, you get to go to the Rocky Horror Picture Show AND the Halloween Ball for a ridiculously cheap price! Yay! Watch out for our stand in the HUB during the week! We will be hosting rehearsals this week, essentially to advise our audience WHEN you should throw stuff at the screen, HOW to do the Time Warp, and all that jazz. Come along to C104 in the Henry Grattan tonight (Monday) at 6pm and a fun time is guaranteed! No dressing up necessary, but make sure you dress up on the night....Check out pics from last year at: http://www.dcudrama.ie/gallery/v/rockyhorror2004/?g2_GALLERYSID=218bd24b62a… click on the link to see what you're in for!) MORE AUDITIONS! FOR MORE STUFF! Here at Drama, it's all auditions, all the time. Yay! For those of you who attended the marathon audition sessions of the last few weeks, and are wondering what the hell happened, the cast listings of our upcoming plays and pantos and other madness will be posted on our website this week - check it out at www.dcudrama.ie <http://www.dcudrama.ie>. ...cos there's yet more auditions! One of our members is casting an all-female show called "My Mother Said I Never Should," a tour-de-force for FOUR intrepid actresses. This is due to be performed in the second semester, so you'll have loads of rehearsal time. It's the story of several female generations of the same family and promises to be powerful stuff. So get over to CG05, the Henry Grattan Building at 6pm this Tuesday and meet the Director! No other preparation is necessary, just show up! (you'd better be a girl though, sorry guys). MERCHANT OF VENICE: We were pleasantly surprised at the level of interest at DCU Drama's second stab at Shakespeare (we did Macbeth last year to great acclaim). To the extent that we need to have further auditons and callbacks to determine our cast. So get along to XG14 at 2pm wednesday and do just that! If you were there last week, chances are we want to see you again, so please come along. We'll be there until six o clock, but the earlier you get there, the better :) WHO'S LINE IS IT ANYWAY? We will be holding sort-of-auditions for this event NEXT week. It's an improv show, so you don't have to worry about learning your lines - you just have to be quick thinking and funny! No sweat there then. Check the website for further details (as soon as we post them...) Enough! To both of you that read all the way to the end of this email, congrats! I'm outta here, Bob! -- Roibeard O Mhurcu # 54144094 CS2 Class Rep.

[Drama-alumni] Keeping you up to date...this week: lots more stuff!
by Roibeard O Mhurcu 17 Oct '05

17 Oct '05

Ahoy Alums! Loads more stuff happening with DCU Drama this week, ALL of which you are more than welcome to attend :) Firstly, there's an excellent show going on at the Helix this week on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, called "Floating." It starts at 10am and again at 12.15pm and costs just 7 euro. Our DCU Drama President, the esteemed Marie-Louise O Donnell, has told me that if you ever wanted to know how Drama should be done, then SEE THIS SHOW. Nuff said really. Elsewhere this week: More Auditions: Tuesday 18th, 6pm, CG05: There will be another round of Auditions for "TAPE," where we are still seeking a leading lady. Daniel Bevan will be hearing more readings on this night, and the show should be cast soon! Tuesday 18th, 6pm, CG04: PANTO! PANTO! PANTO! We are holding further auditions for those who didn't make it to last week's extravaganza in the X Building... Come along and Strut Your Stuff! Wednesday 19th, 3pm, XG16: STARS IN THEIR EYES! Many of you were unable to make the original auditions last wednesday, so now's your chance. The level of interest is huge, so if you wanna be in the show, turn up and dazzle us! Please bring a CD of the song you intend to sing on the night too, Cheers. If you auditioned last week, come along again to convince us that YOU should be in the show! Wednesday 19th, 2pm, XG14 & XG15: THE MERCHANT OF VENICE: Shakepeare's famous little scribble is being slightly turned around by DCU DRAMA this year. Directed by Eoin O' Callaghan and Siobhan Hickey, our modern re-telling of the tale promises to top last year's Macbeth in terms of excitement, enjoyment and overall wonderfulness...ness. Wednesday sees the first auditions taking place and DRAMA urge you ALL to come along as the size of the cast is quite large. The director's promise that it will be worth your while taking part as the play will be held next February in The Helix, so you can all tell your mates that you will be acting in one of Ireland's top venues. Anyone unfamiliar with the play? That doesn't matter as before auditions, there will be a slight run-down of the storyline and character blurbs too. So until Wednesday then... Thursday 20th, 7pm, The Venue (tbc): ACTING WORKSHOP: The fabulous Alan Kinsella is back again to put us through our paces with another acting workshop on Thursday. While the last one we had concentrated more on improvisation and zaniness, this one will be more acting-focused and there'll be some readings too. Come one, come all, and show us what you can do! Coming Soon: want to sharpen your improv skills? DCU Drama are having their own "Who's line is it Anyway?" session on the 11th of November in the Helix, as part of DCU's 25th anniversary celebrations. No, Drew Carey/Clive Anderson won't be there, but we need as many budding comedians and hecklers to make up a show and an audience! Auditions coming soon, and don't worry about having to learn lines - there aren't any! Right, that's it, I'm outta here. Bob -- Roibeard O Mhurcu # 54144094 CS2 Class Rep. DCU Drama, Chairman (Chairperson/Chairthing, y'know like, whatever). www.dcudrama.ie <http://www.dcudrama.ie> "Joey, you ever been in a cockpit before? Ever seen a grown man naked? Ever hang around the gymnasium?" "Joey, do you like movies about... Gladiators?" -Capt. Clarence Oveur-
