Ahoy Campers! We've got quite a few events planned in the pipeline for the rest of the semester, and here's how you can have your say... GENERAL MEMBERS MEETING: Tuesday 7th March, 5pm, The Venue, The HUB. New to Drama? Wanna find out what we have up our sleeves for the rest of the year? Then come along to the Venue at 5pm this Tuesday, meet the committee and we'll fill you in! Got a comment or an idea? Come along and let us know! You'll also get the opportunity to meet the president of DCU Drama, Marie-Louise O' Donnell, who will be telling us all about a fascinating project... Marie-Louise O Donnell, our erstwhile president (as some of you may know) has left her position in the Helix and has returned to DCU to lecture. She also has a grand vision and and a plan to put on a vocal chorus-type show that was written by a student some years ago. The student in question was a paraplegic and spent several years writing this piece (his thesis) one letter at a time. It is an intriguing proposal, and will require a chorus of about 50 and at least a year to prepare. I think it has the potential to be an absolutely unique production and is the sort of thing that could catapult DCU Drama into the realms of national exposure, which is never a bad thing... Want to be a part of DCU Drama history? Then DO NOT MISS THIS MEETING! BUI BOLG & ST. PATRICK'S DAY: Be a part of DCU Drama's involvement in headlining the St. Patrick's Day Parade!
