The reason that I haven't confirmed any booking yet is that I am awaiting funding from DCU to partially pay for the trip. Assuming I get said funding, then I will confirm and pay for the tickets as soon as possible.

[Drama-Committee] Further Auditions / Stormtroopers
by Roibeard O Mhurcu 13 Oct '05

13 Oct '05

Hey guys, Here's the deal for next week: We need to have further auditions and then some callbacks for the Panto, so let's look at Tuesday evening for a new batch of auditons, and Wednesday afternoon for callbacks and hopefully final casting. Daniel Bevan, after seeing over 25 girls for one role, feels that he needs to see more. Yayness. He wants to do Tuesday evening also. Eoin, can you get onto the online booking form and get three rooms from 6-8pm on Tuesday night (in the Grattan, so that the cleaners don't bother us again). I'm thinking CG20, CG11 and whatever one is also near them that DOESN'T have built in seats/desks. Also, can you book XG14 and XG15 for 2pm Wednesday until about 5pm. We'll need to put this info out on the announce-drama email on Monday, so I would suggest applying today :) What about Stars in their Eyes? Do we need callbacks or have you seen enough to know what ten acts you're going with? Charlie, as soon as all of this info is confirmed, can you lash it up on the website? I'll also have cast listings for the two one-act plays to go up. Dave, can you talk to Jay about the possibility of getting a tech workshop for Wednesday night? And check that the venue is free of course...? We have another acting workshop on Thursday night, 7pm - We'll need the Venue. Joe M, can you see about this? Cheers. I received a call from the new chair of ISDA today, her name is Dee, and she doesn't sound like the usual fruitcake, thank fuck. There's an ISDA meeting on the 22nd in Trinity, which I can't make as I'll be in Italy (yayness), so we need Joe K and another volunteer to go and fly the flag for DCU Drama that day. Joe K, give her a call, the number is: 086 8619747. Thanks. Also: Joe M, please copy the following email addresses into a new mail and contact them. They're the ones who volunteered to be Stormtroopers at the EGM. They're your bitches! OR ask Charlie to set up a "Stormtroopers" mailing list... emma.sothern2(a)mail.dcu.ie mark.mcgowran2(a)mail.dcu.ie luke.oneill22(a)mail.dcu.ie freemoomy(a)yahoo.co.uk landa2(a)gmail.com ornat.nimhuiri2(a)mail.dcu.ie peter.aboghaly2(a)mail.dcu.ie laura.heading2(a)mail.dcu.ie jennifer.tweed2(a)mail.dcu.ie alan.keegan5(a)mail.dcu.ie ailish.grennan2(a)mail.dcu.ie susan.doyle36(a)mail.dcu.ie jessica.haussler2(a)mail.dcu.ie laura.stewart2(a)mail.dcu.ie naomi.linehan3(a)mail.dcu.ie john.cannon3(a)mail.dcu.ie mythe(a)redbrick.dcu.ie We also need producers and production teams, so here's the list of those who signed up for that at the EGM, Charlie: A "drama-producer" mailing list perhaps?

I was not aware of those issues and certainly do not wish to see them continue. If you would like to come in and show me what needs to be done in the storage room I will arrange for someone to put the clothes back. I didn't know anything about the lighting system and as soon as Shea comes back from his holidays I will look into it. With regard to the sound system in the venue, there are a lot more issues. Not all the work we have been invoiced for has been completed and we are following up on that. The Students' Union Exec would like to continue the good working relationship that it has with Drama and every other society. All I can do now is apologise for what has happened and assure you that it will not happen again.

[Drama-Committee] Whinge!
by Roibeard O Mhurcu 11 Oct '05

11 Oct '05

Dear Sarah, As the Technical and Equipments officer of the DCU Drama Committee, I wish to present the following issues to the SU on behalf of our society. During the SU Freshers Ball, the Portable Lighting system (which is the property of DCU Drama, and not the SPC/SU) was removed from the SPC storage room (upstairs in the HUB) without any permission, or even notification to the committee. When the lights were returned, they were left lying on the floor OUTSIDE of the equipment room. Only for the fact that I happened to be passing by they would have spent the weekend sitting in the pool area, which has proven to be especially unsafe, given the recent theft of a large amount of equipment belonging to Anime/Manga Soc. When I plugged the lights in to make sure they were still working, I found that 3 bulbs had been broken. These are specialist bulbs, and do not come cheap, and as a result we will be forwarding an invoice for replacements shortly. Later on that same night, as the SU cloakroom was filling up, Shea McNelis asked me if he could borrow some coat hangers from the Drama Society. After looking in the SPC room, I found that the only hangers we had were being used to store clothes. Shea told me that if we let him borrow them, he would have someone put the clothes back on the hangers the next day. In the interest of forging a good relationship between Drama and the SU, I agreed. More than a week and a half later, this still hasn't happened yet. Drama's costumes are still in a pile on the floor, and I have received a number of complaints from both the SPC and other societies about the state of the room. We cannot clean up until we get the clothes back on the rail. I have also received a complaint from Mark Boyle about the sound system in the Venue. Text attached: ===== "I was in the venue last night and whoever did the sound for the SU gig last week moved the FX rack from the balcony to behind the stage and left it there. (If memory serves, it usually takes 2-3 people to move the rack even a few meters because it's so damm heavy, so moving it back is going to be fun.) They also removed several parts from it and left them lying on the floor and on the table on the balcony. Several lights (Destroyers I think) were taken from somewhere and left lying on the floor. I can't recall where the sound desk is gone to but I dont think it's on the table. Basically all the work we paid Derek Williams, Technical Field-Agent with Magic and Mayhem, to do throughout the summer was undone. More importantly, the place currently is in more of a mess than any society has ever left it. At the moment it would be difficult if not impossible for anyone to hold any event there." ==== DCU Drama has always made itself and its facilities (where possible) available to as many students that need them. We feel that this generates feeling of goodwill between all of us and that is what student life is all about. However, we do ask that said facilities be treated in a respectful manner, and unfortunately this has not been the case so far this year. We hope that there will be no repeats of infractions such as the ones mentioned above. -- Roibeard O Mhurcu # 54144094 CS2 Class Rep.

[Drama-Committee] Complaint to the SU
by Eoghan Gaffney 11 Oct '05

11 Oct '05

This is what i propose sending to the SU. I still can't think of a good way to close this. Anyone got anything they'd add/change? Or anyone object to me sending this? --Eoghan Sarah, As the Technical and Equipments officer of the DCU Drama Committee, I would like to make a complaint to the SU on behalf of the society. During the SU Freshers Ball, the Portable Lighting system ( which are property of DCU Drama, and not the SPC/SU ) were removed from the storage room without any permission, or even notification to the committee. When the lights were returned, they were left OUTSIDE of the equipment room, and only for the fact that I happened to be passing by, they would have spent the weekend sitting in the pool are, which is very insecure. When I plugged them in to make sure they were still working, I found that 3 bulbs had been broken. We will be forwarding an invoice for replacements shortly. Later that night, as the SU cloakroom was filling up, Shea McNelis asked me if he could borrow some coat hangers from the Drama Society.

[Drama-Committee] Website! WEBSITE! *waves arms*
by Charlie Von Metzradt 09 Oct '05

09 Oct '05

Hiya, I've updated the website with some spiel about the EGM, and... finally done something about the photo situation. I've installed a kick-ass gallery system, and integrated it into all the pages of the site. Check it out, let me know what you think. Adding and managing photos is now very quick and easy, and we can put snippets of any of our albums onto the main site in a snap. I have about 400 photos that aren't in the gallery yet, I'll be putting these up in the coming days. Pictures were taken at the first workshop on Thursday - I want these on the site, who has them?! :) Charlie, starting to get stuff done.

Right, Here is the official deal with the Broadway trip. I WILL give some consideration to committee members who wanna pay up front AND I have already spoken to several "old school" Drama members, basically telling them to be at the EGM on Monday night, with €150 in their hands. We CANNOT just give spots away on this trip - I am absolutely determined to make this trip available to ALL members of Drama, including those Freshers who are so interested right now. Here's the deal: The first 30 people up to me on the night of the EGM (after I make the announcement) with €150 in their grubby little hands get to go to New York. Having looked at that last sentence, that's not quite right,as it won't be the first 30. I'm sure that most of the committee are interested in going, so perhaps we need to work on the exact language we use... Something along the lines of "If you've got €150, come on up and sign up for the trip, if you don't then we DO have to offer places on the trip on a first-come-first-served basis," and as soon as the roster is full then tough shit on everyone else. It's the fairest way, as even the old school drama heads will have had plenty of advance notice. If they choose to ignore that then that's their tough noogie. Yayness! In the interests of fairness, we cannot pre-allocate spots on this trip, with the possible exception of myself (not trying to sound big-headed), as I am organising the whole damn thing. The "announce-drama" email on Monday will have most of the non-sensitive details included... The €150 will be NON-REFUNDABLE. No Exceptions. If, however, you find that having paid the €150 and can't go, there will be people lining up to take your place, just ask them for €150 and we're all square. The entire trip (total €430) will have to be paid for within the next FOUR WEEKS, for insurance/interest purposes. It's complicated, trust me... Bob -- Roibeard O Mhurcu # 54144094 CS1 Class Rep.

[Drama-Committee] Things to think about.
by Roibeard O Mhurcu 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

Ahoy Gang, Right, we have a lot of shit to sort out and not a whole pile of time in which to do it. Updates: We have 330 officially registered new members of Drama, and they are ALL already on the mailing list. Sweet. I have to lodge the cash collected on C&S days today, after which I will let you know what the balance is like. We have to sort out exactly what we are going to do and say on EGM night, and who is going to say what and in which order. My suggestions: Each of us in turn introduces ourselves, and gives a brief explanation of their duties on Drama Committee. We give a detailed account of what we have planned for semester 1, and a brief over view of what is going to happen in semester 2. So far, as I understand it, here's what's going on in semester 1: Week 5: Thursday 27th October ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, in association with LGBT & the SU Halloween Ball, in the Venue. Ticket to the ball also grants you access to RHPS. This is something we have just worked out with the Union, the only condition is that we get it started before 10pm (!) I'm thinking 8 pm myself. We'll get a good crowd regardless, because the kids will come to the venue anyway. We have to encourage the kids to dress up in drag and go nuts. We need a production team - my suggestion is John Cannon and Jay Farrell, they have already secured a deal for us for a 16' screen and projector for just €250. We paid €550 last year. In terms of funding, the fact that we are doing this in association with the Union raises a few questions. How much do we apply for? I'm thinking 100% funding as we are not going to receive ANY money for this. Week 6: Tuesday 1st November SPINAL TAP night, in association with FilmSoc. John Cannon and Dave Grimes came to the committee with this suggestion, involving a screening of the movie, followed by a live performance by our very own Spinal Tap tribute band. We need to decide whether we hold this in the Venue, or T101, or the old bar, or what. I've asked John to sort out a budget to include gear hire, film rights, whatever. Week 8: all week: One act plays, possibly in the Interfaith for Arts week. Let's look at doing Aislinn's hamlet play and I have an idea to do a scene from The Breakfast Club. Needs casting, and a production team. Week 8: Thursday 17th November STARS IN THEIR EYES, in association with MPS. Our yearly Stars extravaganza! I've been in touch with Sarah Neville, the new chair of MPS, and she is itching to get into bed with us. MPS are a brand new committee, as all of the old school graduated last year - here's our chance to establish fresh and friendly links with MPS now that the old animosity is gone. Yayness! Week 9: Monday to Thursday (possible) 21 - 24th November ALL MY SONS, our Arthur Miller tour-de-force. Directed by Fiona Colhoun, she has already cast the show and will start rehearsals soon. Things to be sorted: We need a set designer, production team, venue and rehearsal schedule. I'm counting on Fiona to sort out the rehearsal schedule, the rest we need to look at. Week 10: 28th - 1st Dec ST PATS ONE ACT WONDER FESTIVAL: We have at least one (Aislinn's) show for this, and I'm hoping to do the Breakfast club piece for this too. I've suggested to Martin French that DCU plays NOT be scheduled for the Tuesday of that week, as the Socs ball is on that night. Week 11: 5th Dec - 10th THE PANTO - BABES IN THE WOOD. I want this to be a fresher project - give it to the 1st years and let them run with it. Week 12: 12th Dec - 17th XMAS BASH W/REDBRICK! We are officially in bed with redbrick on this one. We are looking at the New Bar/Venue, 2 or 3 bands, santa, candyfloss machine and randomness. Yay! THINGS TO GET ORGANISED FOR THE EGM: *Broadway trip: 1st 30 people to give me a €150 NON REFUNDABLE deposit get to go to New York. No Exceptions. There will be an announce drama email going out before that to let people know. Right now I am having difficulty in getting to pay for the damn flights, as they are over €10,000 and need to be paid with a credit card. I'm working on getting an overdraft from the bank, collecting €4500 on monday (30 x €150), lodging the lot and writing Elaine a cheque for 10,000 and letting her put the flights on her credit card. We don't have a whole pile of options here. *Auditions: We need to audition for: Stars, one Acts, the panto and put together a core team for the Rocky Horror. I'm suggesting getting all of this done at the EGM, create a shitload of sign up sheets including: Rocky Horror Stars in their Eyes One Act Plays - Hamlet One Act Plays - The Breakfast Club The Panto - Babes in the Wood Directing Producing Sound Lighting Costumes/Make up Acting Singing Dancing STORMTROOPERS I want to create mailing lists for all of these categories - call them drama-sound, drama-produce etc. We need to contact Aislinn to determine if she wants to direct her own play for the one act festival, and arts week. We need a director for the panto. We need a director for The Breakfast club piece. We need to form production teams for all of the above, and pass control onto them. The Committee will be overseeing all productions and we need a rep for all productions. Shane is the money, and obviously we need to keep an eye on that. Tasks: Joe and Joe: Create printed sign up sheets for all the categories listed above, three of each, staple the whole bloody lot together, and we will pass them around at the EGM and make people sign up for stuff. Having the sheets at the bottom of the room and asking people to come up and sign up is a pain in the ass. Just make sure that you get the sheets back!! Info wanted: Name, email address, phone number. Bob: create Broadway trip sign-up sheet (then duck). Contact the bank and beg for cash etc. Yayness. Dave: Contact Aislinn re: directing her play for the Arts week/One act play. Organise rooms for auditions all day wednesday if it suits Aislinn. I'd like to book xg15, xg14 and xg01 and possibly xg16 from 2pm til late wednesday. Different rooms for different auditions - Stars in one, Hamlet in another, Breakfast in another, Panto in another, rocky horror focus group in another. WHICH means that we need to sort out directors and rudimentary production teams for all shows BEFORE wed. Monday night at the new bar is a good time to approach those who signed up for directing/ producing etc and ask them which show they are interested in. I'm think Stephen Grimes to direct the panto... Shelly: get yer baps out. Just kidding. Help Dave in booking rooms and networking at the bar on monday night. We need to look at booking rooms as soon as possible, and i hope to announce ALL of these auditions on Monday night. We need to get these projects off the ground in a hurry, next week is week 3!!!! Charlie: I'm sending you photos from Clubs and Socs, please lash them up on the website, along with a blurb about the EGM, monday night 7pm in QG15. I'll include a reccommendation to check the website in our announce-drama email come sunday night. Eoin: Liaise with Dave and shelly in sorting out rooms and auditions. It's a big job, and we need to get this done NOW! Yayness. Eoghan: Workshops. We need to organise technical workshops - sound and lighting stuff. Dave knows people who want to help out with work shops and apparently Shea has offered to help out as well, although he has now fucked off on holidays for the entire week. yayness. Shane: Be my bitch and watch the money. I may need you to come to the bank manager with me :( If there's anything else, it's slipped my mind. We need action people, and we need it now!!

[Drama-Committee] Clubs & Socs Day pt.1
by Roibeard O Mhurcu 05 Oct '05

Ahoy gang, Fucking great job today recruiting. I have it on good authority that Drama had 176 REGISTERED new members by the end of day 1, slightly behind Filmsoc, Redbrick, Dance and Karting (?). I realise that we signed up closer to 200/210, but of course not everybody registered. If we get another 60-70 tomorrow, we have beaten last year's haul! Yayness etc. Tomorrow: I am not around, lectures in the morning, followed by plugging the Socs ball in the afternoon. I will be in the Hub area, so will be popping by to see what's happening. We DO need more people there tomorrow, so I'm looking for volunteers... I received an email from Sarah Martin from the Drama Alumni today - she is looking for a tall member of Drama to dress up as a member of the Wizard of Oz (or something). Either way, if you're interested, give her a shout at sarah.martin4(a)mail.dcu.ie. Later, Bob -- Roibeard O Mhurcu # 54144094 CS1 Class Rep.
