Hello Alumni!<br>
<br>
Here's what DCU Drama have planned for this week, the usual fun and malarkey.<br>
<br>
Is anyone free on Wednesday to come along and help us out with a tack
of auditions? Particularly Stars In their Eyes? Someone of a more
musical bend than, say, tone-deaf old me?<br>
<br>
If you're available and interested in prowling your old stomping ground, drop me a line at chair@dcudrama.ie...<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>
<br>

Greetings and welcome to the DCU Drama mailing list.<br>
<br>
READ TO THE END, IMPORTANT INFO RE: BROADWAY TRIP!!<br>
<br>
If you're new to the list, then you'll receive a mail like this every
Monday, jam-packed with information about what we have planned for you
in the week ahead. This information is also going to be available on
our website at <a href="http://www.dcudrama.ie" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">www.dcudrama.ie</a>. Our website is currently being
overhauled (although you can check out pics from Clubs and Socs days at
<a href="http://www.dcudrama.ie/gallery/v/cnsdays2005/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.dcudrama.ie/gallery/v/cnsdays2005/</a>), so your best bet is to
consult the Drama email every Monday for the moment...<br>
<br>
What's happening this week:<br>
<br>
Monday 10th, 7pm, QG15 (Business School) - Our Annual EGM!<br>
<br>
Here's where we get to tell all of our members what we have planned for
them throughout the year (heh heh heh). We also have to elect a fresher
to our committee to serve as First Year Rep. I was last year's First
Year Rep, and it's a little hard work, but very rewarding and great
craic. We are looking for someone who has a lot of energy, is good at
rallying the troops and basically wants to prostitute themselves for
DCU Drama. Think you've got what it takes? Then stand up at the EGM and
tell us why YOU'RE the man/woman/other for the job! Get elected and
receive the kudos and fawning attention you deserve! Yay!<br>
<br>
At the EGM, we will also be asking you to sign up for various
activities, such as directing, acting, promotion and a whole host of
other activities. We have a lot of events in the pipeline for the year,
but without bodies, they're going nowhere. Wanna direct? We have
scripts that need casting and direction. Wanna produce? We are dying to
get our newest members involved, as well as welcoming back last year's
spectacular crop.<br>
<br>
After the EGM, we're all off to the New Bar for drinkies and nibbles.
This is where the basis for our year in Drama really gets moving.
Here's where we do our networking, put potential directors in touch
with potential production teams and watch the magic happen. So make
sure you come along to the New Bar afterwards!<br>
<br>
<br>
Wednesday 12th, 2pm, XG01, XG14, XG15, XG16 - Auditions!!<br clear="all"><br>
As I've said, we have a lot of productions in the pipeline for this
year. We ain to have several sets of auditions for 4 different
productions ALL on Wednesday. Think it's ambitious? Ha! Think again. We
have TWO one act plays, going on during week 8 (Arts Week) and again
during week 10 (St. Pat's One Act Wonder Festival), we have our
Christmas Panto (week 11) and we also have DCU Drama's very own
production of &quot;Stars in their Eyes&quot; (again week 8). Think you can sing?
Or act? Come at auditions and find out! We'll give you more details at
the EGM... These wil be an initial round of auditions, there will be
more, but we find it's best to get in early...Rooms subject to change.<br>
<br>
<br>
BROADWAY TRIP:<br>
<br>
Yes, the moment you've all been waiting for. Barring a complete and
utter disaster, DCU Drama are off to New York on the 30th of January
2006 for four nights and three Broadway shows. Interest in this trip is
at a record high, with a huge buzz around campus. There remain a few
facts to discuss however...<br>
<br>
The trip has 30 places available. No more, no less.<br>
<br>
We want to make this trip available to ALL of our members on a
completely fair basis, which is why we have not been accepting and
advance deposits (no matter how hard people have tried...)<br>
<br>
Yes, some places have already been taken by members of the Drama
committee, as is necessary because after all we are organising the
event and will need to be there in a position of responsibility and
supervision.<br>
<br>
In order to secure your place on our trip, come to the EGM on Monday
night, and bring a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit of €150 with you. Should you
decide to bring more, fantastic, we need to have collected all monies
within the next four or five weeks. Having more money will NOT give you
the edge over others though.<br>
<br>
Scared off by the whole &quot;non-refundable&quot; aspect? Not to worry, if you
have signed up and find you cannot go, there will be people lining up
to take your place. Simply get one of them to pay you 150 bucks and
Robert's your father's brother!<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, I can foresee something of a stampede for places on the
trip. I'm sorry in advance that some of you will not get to go. We have
to limit the trip to 30 students for sheer logistical purposes.<br>
<br>
And yes, it is first come, first served.<br>
<br>
Have a great week and we'll see you all at the EGM!<br>
<br>
Yay! Again!<br>
<br>
