[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 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.

[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.

[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.

[Drama-Committee] The Deal with Broadway...
by Roibeard O Mhurcu 08 Oct '05

08 Oct '05

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.
