[Drama-Committee] Fwd: The Exonerated

What do you guys think?! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: DCU Amnesty <dcuamnesty(a)gmail.com> Date: Dec 4, 2006 11:26 AM Subject: The Exonerated To: stephent.grimes5(a)gmail.com Cc: stephen.grimes5(a)mail.dcu.ie Hi Stephen, I was checking out about the Exonerated, It's $60 per performance so we are going to the SPC to apply for additional funds for it this week, maybe we could apply jointly if your soc is still interested in doing the play.. We were thinking 4 performances, Tues - Fri in a week, what do you think, is that usual? Let us know what the soc thinks anyway, the cast was about 10 actors when it played at the fringe festival in october and it sold out for the 3 weeks it ran for every night (well it had aidan quinn, david soul and neve campbell in it). The actors sat on stools for the whole performance and had their lines in front of them, so there was hardly any props, some light work with spot lights and a few sound effects i think. Another alternative could be Brendan Behan's 'The Quare Fellow', which is set in Ireland in 1954 and is about an irish man being put to death. This play helped change peoples attitudes in Ireland about the death penalty and is also inspired in 1953/4 by what was to be Ireland's last ever execution. Although we would really like to go with The Exonerated, this year anyway. We were also looking into approaching Martin Sheen to do a guest night maybe on the final night. He's studying over in Galway at the moment and he's a big human rights supporter and is vocally opposed to the death penalty, he's been arrested something like 60 times for his activism. Worth a shot anyway. Dramatists Play Service, Inc. own the production rights. ( http://www.dramatists.com ) We were thinking of splitting any profits, a third for the survivors (there's an offical fund), a third amnesty international's work on the death penalty, a third to drama soc. Or what do ye think? And have it run in week 10-11? Arran, chair Amnesty International Soc -- Stephen Grimes AP2 Rep DCU Drama Chair 085 7079768 55456550

A guy is looking for a female to read for a character in a short script he worte. He'd rather I not post the entire script. Its very good thought... there's a section below. He's gonnna audition on Monday & do it on thursday (its a radio gig show thingy) (I have more descript details in my inbox somewhere) - Hoodies?! Anything else? The section of the script is below- he only wants the female part. I'm gonna book him a room and audition time and leave it at that. Coolio? Also- any thoughts on the Exonerated?

[Drama-Committee] Panto ticket sales
by Joey Kavanagh 03 Dec '06

03 Dec '06

Hey guys, Just wondering if panto tickets have been sent to campus print yet? We have to be really careful with how we go about selling them, especially given the whole Style Soc debacle. I suggest the tickets are numbered and sold in order so we know exactly how much we're giving to charity at the end of the day. Joey -- msn: joeykavanagh(a)gmail.com ph: 085 7322 505

[Drama-Committee] Apology
by Stephen Grimes 02 Dec '06

02 Dec '06

Hey all, I'd like to apologise for undermining Joey's position as treasurer on committee. I went ahead and ordered 100 posters for the panto and I didn't clear it with Joey first. I want to just apologise and say that I was completely in the wrong. Joey had printed 30 posters and Pauric put them in his bag to put up the next day. His bag was taken from the Old Bar and then I ordered 100 more posters. I told Joey I ordered 50 because I genuinely disputed whether to order 100 or 50 in my head and then thought I ordered 50 but in fact ordered 100. That was stupid on my part. I responded angrily to Joeys e-mail, for which I apologise, because I didn't realize that he didn't know Pauric's bag had been stolen. I'm more than willing to cover the cost of the extra posters and I apologise for my previous e-mail which was sent in a rush of adrenaline and reading over it now was extremely rude to Joey. So sorry about that, me and Joey have talked this out and we're grand I just don't want anyone hearing the tale end of a discussion and getting worked up about it. Meanwhile- the pantos looking great and promotion is going great what with Campus, Flashback, 100 posters, Two massive rasterbation posters, Metro paper, herald am paper, evening herald, sunday times, news of the world, mirror, sun, star, tribune and sunday independant (Hopefully one of them will stick it in! And to which Joey contacted- thanks) Steve -- Stephen Grimes AP2 Rep DCU Drama Chair 085 7079768 55456550

[Drama-Committee] Fwd: I need your help

What do you guys think? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Michelle Smyth <michellecsmyth(a)gmail.com> Date: Dec 1, 2006 10:18 PM Subject: I need your help To: Stephen Grimes <stephen.grimes5(a)gmail.com> Hey Stephen, *I need your help and drama's help!!!!!!!!!!!* Outside of college (yes I do go outside of college) I'm very very very much involved with the Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Association, which is a charity for people who have spina bifida and hydrocephalus. Throughout the year the charity organise events for the children and adults of the association. The *10th of December* sees the association having our anual Christmas party again in *Croke Park*!!!!!The fun all kicks off at *2pm*!!!!!!!!The kids come along for the afternoon and are entertained, filled to the brim with sugar and at the end of it all Santa comes to visit and each child gets a present. Every year we turn to societies and groups to help us in entertaining the kids. This year we decided to turn to DCU societies for help!!!!! I was wondering would a group of drama students be willing to lend a few hours of their time to the kids Christmas party.Were looking for people who can *juggle, do magic tricks, anything along those lines*. Dressing up as fairies, elves, christmas trees, presents,snowmen and snowwomen or just throwing on a santa hat is completely at the discretion of members. Maybe if drama are interested in gettin involved maybe you could do an act from the panto, only really something uber small to entertain the kids. Every year every child that goes to the party always as an amazing time!!!!!!!And I would really love to see DCU socs getting involved in lending a hand. Drop us an email or a text if Drama are interested!!!!! So.... *WHAT IS IT????*SPINA BIFIDA AND HYDROCEPHALUS KIDS CHRISTMAS PARTY *WHEN IS IT????*10th of DECEMBER *WHERE????*THE ONE AND ONLY *CROKE PARK* *WHAT TIME????* 2PM *Over and out and all that malarky that goes with it!!!!!!!!* Michelle Smyth ps my mobile is 0868823764 (and it tis meteor) -- BNGN 2 DCU SU Equality Officer 2006/2007 DCU Gymnastics & Trampoline PRO 2006/2007 DCU Electoral Committee Secretary 2006/2007 -- Stephen Grimes AP2 Rep DCU Drama Chair 085 7079768 55456550

Fwd: [Drama-Committee] Panto posters
by Stephen Grimes 02 Dec '06

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Stephen Grimes <stephen.grimes5(a)gmail.com> Date: Dec 2, 2006 1:03 AM Subject: Re: [Drama-Committee] Panto posters To: Joey Kavanagh <joeykavanagh(a)gmail.com> The set that was printed were taken by Pauric. He put them into his bag (cus he was gonna get up early the next day and put them up around larkfiled and other places) and then his bag got swiped from the Old Bar. It was unfortunate but I don't honestly believe we can get annoyed at Pauric for it- could of happened to any of us... So we had zero posters. Then I ordered more. Quite frankly the rasterbation posters don't make the impact necessary and we need to advertise the panto. If you think we can advertise this panto on 30 posters you must be mental. Also I'll willing pay the extra money out of my own pocket for the extra posters if its that much of a problem. To try advertise a massive show like the panto on 30 posters just isn't going to cut it. Anyway- I ordered 100 A3 posters and we put them up around campus. If the show loses money I'll gladly give €35 (35c x 100) to drama. End of discussion. In other news- SVP can bring 80 kids to the wed matinee so we definitely don't have to cancel it! Yayness!

Who took them from the cubby hole? They should have been left there if they weren't gonna be put up. Steve's after ordering a whole other set which, frankly, is a complete waste of money when there was a perfectly good set printed already.
