Ahoy Campers!
The 3rd Annual One Act Wonder Festival wrapped up tonight over at St. Patrick's, and what a night it was for DCU Drama!
Our two plays, "The Play's the Thing" and "The Breakfast Club" were
performed on Monday night to tumultuous applause - well done to all of
our actors, directors and helpers.
Thursday night saw a change of pace, with workshops and snippets of shows to come!
Our intrepid cast of the forthcoming production of "All My Sons"
performed a powerful excerpt from the show on the night, which was very
well received.
The very first Intervarsity performance of the increasingly popular
"Whose Line is it Anyway?" was a great success, with our own Bob as MC,
and the fabulous Eoin O Callaghan representing DCU. The cast was
rounded out by Eddie (DIT), Conor (St. Pat's) and Anne-Marie (Mater
Dei). For a group that met for the first time half an hour before the
show, the magic happened and the sparks flew!
After the fun and games, we retired to the Cat & Cage for an uproarious Awards Ceremony...
...and what a ceremony it was! DCU Drama walked away on the night with FIVE awards!
Our haul in full:
BEST DIRECTOR: Aislinn O Loughlin, "The Play's the Thing" - the judges
were unanimous in their praise for the entire play, and heaped glory on
the lovely Ashi!
JUDGES SPECIAL AWARD: "Whose Line is it Anyway?" - for the zaniest and wackiest improv show seen this side of the real thing.
BEST ACTOR (PRETENDING TO BE AN ACTOR): Gary Furlong, "The Play's the
Thing" - for his bumbling, spoonerism-tastic turn as Harold.
BEST APPLICATION OF LIPSTICK: Kitty Boyle, "The Breakfast Club" - who
managed to apply a perfect coating without the use of her hands! (Use
your imagination)
BEST SLAP: Siobhan Hickey, "All My Sons" - who nearly knocked Bob to the floor and drew gasps from the audience!
A very well done to all involved - Ashi, Dave, Mark, Gary, Bob, Kitty,
Laura x2 (Heading & Whitmore), Dallan, Abi, Phil, Joe, Eoin,
Siobhan and Peter, and of couse all of you who came along to cheers us
on!
See you at the Panto :)
