Re: [Drama-Committee] ISDA, 250 bucks etc
by Joey Kavanagh 14 Mar '06

I've just spoken to our lovely SPC rep, Charlene and she reckons we'll more than likely be funded 60% of the cost. Which leaves a somewhat less bank-balance denting sum of €100 for Drama to cover. 'The Play's the Thing' is an incredibly cheap production to put on, aside from the entry fee. Remember that because it's a student written production, we don't have to pay any performance rights at all. It also involves bringing only two additional people to Cork, one of whom has already booked his flight.

[Drama-Committee] ISDA, 250 bucks etc
by Roibeard O Mhurcu 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Hi gang, We have confirmed with ISDA that we have to pay 250 euro PER ENTRY for the awards. Hmmm, in an impromptu chat with Eoin last night, I offered the following solution: Let's send down The Play's the Thing anyway WITH a script change along the lines of "Can you beleieve the rent we have to pay for this theatre? This show is costing us 25 euro PER MINUTE!" ...or something. Anyhoo, if you like it, I'll send along the suggestion to Ashi. OTHER NEWS: I only realised last night after getting home that I won't be around for the 1st half of next week. Which means that I won't be around for the set-design workshop OR the vocal projection workshop... I need to pass the buck over to Eoin/Dave/random volunteer. Anna from the DLI is our contact for the set-design workshop - the guy running it would like a cheque for 50 euro to cover expenses and petrol etc. Her email address is studentofficer(a)dli.ie and her number is 086 129 0387. She's available after 3pm, and we need to contact her to see if the workshop is still going ahead. I emailed her a few days back to say that our set will be built before the worshop begins, and would that cause an issue? I have received no reply. Somebody needs to contact her. Eoin, Dave? Gaiety School of Acting diction & Vocal projection workshop: Diarmaid Murtagh is our contact, they'll be coming in for 7pm tuesday of week 7. His number is 087 673 0617. They'll do the workshop for about half an hour, but we need to advertise BOTH of these workshops! ( the set-design has to have DLI mentioned on any poster). I will still write the announce drama email from Rome! I'll call around to you guys about this in the next day or so. Sorry, it's just stuff I forgot to mention last night...
