Hello, Of course its should be only active members that get to go,I don't think anyone could object to that. It`s unfortunate that there was a mix up and no one recognised that this podge guy has been active but i don't think thats Joey's fault. Personally I would want Fiona to go as she really has a great interest in drama and was a complete trooper throughtout the panto......but I suppose thats a different question altogther. In conclusion;lets get rid of all the sham drama members that don't do anything and replace them,for no charge at all,with real members.

[Drama-Committee] So here it is Merry Christmas...
by Stephen Grimes 09 Dec '06

Guys, gotta send this soon so people can e-mail Joey about tickets for Nightmare... Does anything need to be added? Steve **************************** Tis the season to be jolly... FLA LA LA LA LA... LA LA LA LA! =) Drama have a peacefully quiet week planned as we know most of you are beginning to stress over the impossible workloads that await you this Christmas Holiday break! * A Nightmare Before Christmas * Overdue Congratulations * Panto Aftermath A Nightmare Before Christmas As some of you are probably aware, our lovely PRO, Liana, is staging her directorial début, a stage adaptation of 'A Nightmare Before Christmas', in the Mill Theatre in Dundrum next week. Liana and Co. have worked tirelessly on this production for months and it promises to be a fantastic show. We've booked twenty tickets for the Monday night performance at the reduced price of €8 and there are still a limited number remaining. Anybody who wants to book a ticket please e-mail our Treasurer, Joey, at treasurer(a)dcudrama.ie Tickets will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Anybody coming to the show should meet in the Hub at 6:15 on Monday evening. Overdue Congratulations I posted these on the life forum but forgot to send it in an announce drama... As most of you know, we brought several shows down to the "One Act Wonder Festival" and received several awards. So massive congratulations to the following... *****Best Original Script * - "If this is the Afterlife, I want my Old Job Back" written by the beautiful Susan Bourke! *"Alas Poor Yorick" for death on stage * - "If this is the Afterlife, I want my Old Job Back" * "Most Ludicrous Premise" * - "A Murder Mystery with the Exception of the Script" written by the talented Eoin O'Neill! *"The lets up the rating to R" award * - Nobody Famous, directed by the stylishly sexy Joey Kavanagh! Well Done to all the cast and thanks to everybody who went down to show their support! ** Panto Aftermath As most of know, the pantomime was a massive success and got great reviews everywhere. Of course this couldn't be accomplished without the work of some amazing people. Congratulations to all the cast and crew for their hard work and special thanks to Gary Boylan (for designing the epic poster) and to Robin Cafolla (for being an absolute legend) as we forgot to thank them on the night (runs and hides under desk). Also a huge thank you to all those who took the time out to man the ticket stands, your help was extremely appreciated! Massive congratulations to all the production team, to choreographer Aisling O'Flanagan and of course to first time director Pauric Carroll. I think its fair to say that everybody really enjoyed the show and that it wouldn't of happened without the hours of dedication put in by both Pauric and Aisling. We may even forgive the fact that Pauric is from Cavan... actually no... there's no forgiving that... =) Any photos of the panto or any other drama event PLEASE e-mail them to Conor at dramaphotos(a)gmail.com as he now has the time to post them considering the panto is finally over! Lastly - you'll all be glad to hear. The panto raised €400 for SVP, as well as catering for tons of free tickets to the matinee show for SVP children, who loved all of it and even began to sing along to "Time of my life" at the end of the show! I almost cried... in a manly way of course... That said- I'm going to leave it at that... Merry Christmas everybody! Steve -- Stephen Grimes AP2 Rep DCU Drama Chair 085 7079768 55456550

[Drama-Committee] Broadway
by Joey Kavanagh 08 Dec '06

Ok guys, I've done a little bit of detective work and it transpires that Pauraig Babington, who comes ahead of Fiona on the list, is the mysterious 'Podge' who did back-stage in 'Stars in Their Eyes'. I accept full responsibility on this one. It was an oversight on my part and I'm prepared to sacrifice my own place on the Broadway trip, if needs be. I have already e-mailed Fiona to tell her that a committee member objected to her being offered the vacant spot and I will revert to the original order on the list until the spot is filled. Joey

Hey guys, Just wanted to give y'all a quick update on the trip to Broadway. I've sent off cheques this week to cover the cost of forty tickets to 'The Producers' for the Wednesday night and also to cover the remainder of the cost of accommodation. The only thing that remains to be sorted now is the metro cards for travel within New York. So far, we have had three drop-outs from the original forty. Anna Lawlor is replacing Carol Fanning. Dearbhla McCreesh is replacing Rebecca Meehan. Louise Guyett has also dropped out. So far, I've contacted three people on the list in relation to this. One replied and said she was going on the snowboarding trip but the two others made no contact at all. Looking through the remainder of the list, I realised that only two people, Fiona Carty and Garret Rogers, have been active within the society this semester. Considering how the importance of contributing to the society was clearly emphasised to all prospective Broadway-comers at the EGM, I decided that it might be best to give preference to these two individuals. John McKeown contacted Fiona Carty this evening and she said that she is still interested in coming on the trip. At least one committee member has expressed concern that a decision was made to offer this position to Fiona instead of people who were in the queue ahead of her at the EGM without being brought to a committee vote. Thus, in the interest of fairness and transparency, I'd like to call for a committee vote on this matter. Since there are no committee meetings scheduled at present, plus the fact that I'd like this issue to be resolved ASAP to save hassle with name-changes for the accommodation and flights, I suggest that all committee members e-mail Steve a vote before midnight on Saturday. Whereby... Yes indicates that you feel active drama members should be given priority to any vacant spots that arise No indicates that you feel that members should be offered vacant spots in accordance with the original numerical order. One more thing, Lyndsey, Eoin & John, can you confirm by tomorrow night whether or not you're coming to see Liana's play on Monday. Thanks. Have a great weekend, Joey
