[Drama-Committee] Money, money, money
by Shane Murphy 10 Apr '06

Right folks, first off i want to apologise for my absence last night, and my general dropping the ball as of late, but college has to come first, sorry. Anyho, i've attached an income statement for the period 26/9 -31/3 (re the bics). It almost totally accurate , except for the note at the bottom which state that SPC funding is €4000. This doesn't tkae into account the fact that Alan Kinsella is getting€3500 of it, thus leaving us with a hole of €1797.09, and well that wouldn't look to good, would it. Overall, drama has had a fantastic year. In financial terms, we had great success with most of our events. The only events that made a considerable loss were the panto and the musical. The general inexperience of the crew of the panto (re actual costs) contributed to it being a financial failure, however, as im sure most of you are aware, the single biggest factor that affected the panto and musical, was the lack of promotion. I aint one to preach, but its a real shame to see the hard work of the cast and crew go to waste, just because the show hasn't been promoted properly. I mean, there aint anything as demoralising as performing to an empty house. Regarding next year, i would love to see some rigid plan put in place, so that there is, well a set routine to promoting shows, and also, a proper plan for it's promotion, re times deadlines to check various costs, when the designs have to be sent to the printers, when posters must be up etc.... On a side note, i'd just like to reflect on my time being on committee with all of you. It has been great and i've had a ball, even if i was perpetually plagued for money. I will miss not having the pleasure of being on committee next year and helping drama retain its spot as the best society in DCU. One of the great strengths of this year's committee is that it consists of so many different people with different opinions. The one fear ( actually, that's a lie, i have many fears) that i have for next year's committee is that it will be, well too pally-pally, and people may not do their jobs properly for fear of offending their mates. On a second side note, i have found that, from my experience, the induction of people into the committe is quiet poor. Obviously, this is my opinion, but at times it has been very difficult, and, well nobody sits you down and actually shows you what exactly has to be done, and how it must be done. There is no handbook on "How to be a treasurer", like, who do i go to for such and such, and why, and i found this more so last year, but also this year to be frustrating. Whilst Elaine is great in many ways, she is well, a little too totalitarian, and doesn't explain things but rather tells you if or when they arise. With this in mind, i have started putting together a guide to being treasurer, with nice slow step by step instructions on how to deal with all possible events should they arise. When i have it fininshed (hopefully by the end of next week), i'd like you guys to have a look, and give a little feedback. The idea is that this "guide" could then be posted on the website an well accessible to all potential treasurers so they could see exactly what they are geeting themselves into. I think that this idea could also be extended into other areas such as pro, elo and sponsorship. Right, that's me done, -- Shane Murphy Treasurer, DCU Drama Mailto: shane.murphy53(a)mail.dcu.ie shane.murphy53(a)gmail.com treasurer(a)dcudrama.ie Ph: 087 7822628

UPDATE: Bob: YES (individual) Steve: YES (fresher) Shelly: YES (Gamessoc) Joey: YES (Siobhan) Eoghan: YES (SPC), but may not be going, and therefore may donate his ticket... Charlie: more than likely not going, due to possible going-away party (not a surprise, he knows) ...which still leaves us w/3 tix between 4 members of ctte.

[Drama-Committee] St Michaels House
by Michelle Ni Fhaircheallaigh 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

Ok Folks, Here's the deal. St Michaels House was penciled in for week 12. I went to them a week ago and the said they wouldn't be able to do it in such a short space of time. They suggested June with rehersals starting this week but no rehersals in the month of May cuz of exams. The problems i know see with this are: 1) Being able to get students to help out during June. Not everyone lives in Dublin 2) Elaine is not available for rehersals throughout the month of June 3) As of the day Res kick us out I'll be living in Navan again and working there aswell. It might be difficult to get time off 4) The Venue might not be open then. Not sure bout this one so i'd have to look into it. Personally i think it should be postponed until semester 1 next year. I won't be on committee then and because of that i'll be able to give a lot more time to this project which is a necessity. What do you's think? I'll need to know whether or not you's think it should go ahead and if so will you's be able to help out too? Mail me or txt me back asap cuz the first rehersal is supposed to be wednesday so i want to give them enough notice if we have to cancel.

[Drama-Committee] [Musical-cast] This Week in DCU Drama!
by Roibeard O Mhurcu 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

Ahoy campers! THIS WEEK IN DRAMA: GUYS AND DOLLS: A massive well done to all of the cast and crew of this year's musical "Guys & Dolls," for putting on one of the most entertaining shows in recent DCU Drama history! Everybody, from the producers down to the behind-the-scenes crew, from leads to extras, deserves a round of applause. Well Done! CLEANING THE VENUE: Yes, it's all fun and games (until someone loses an eye). But seriously folks, after being in the Venue all week, there's still a bit of a mess left in there. We got most of the place cleaned up after the show on Thursday night (until security threw us out) but WE NEED YOUR HELP! We still need to take down the set, scrub all the paint off the floor and give the place a bit of a spruce-up. The more volunteers that we get, the shorter a period of time it's going to take to clean the place, SO come along to the Venue at 10am Monday to lend a hand! There may be a pint in it for you afterwards! THEATRE TRIP! Those of you who signed up (and paid) to go to see "Fiddler on the Roof" in the Gaiety on Monday night, meet at 6.45 in front of the New Bar, and we're off to town! Yayness! If you've signed up but haven't paid, then contact stephen.grimes5(a)mail.dcu.ie to rectify this problem! You know who you are... DCU DRAMA AGM! Wednesday 12th April (week 10), 2pm. Want to be a part of the DCU Drama committee for next year? Want to have an active say in what DCU Drama gets up to next year? Then come to the AGM on Wednesday of next week and have your say! Positions available will be: Chair Vice-Chair Secretary Treasurer PRO External Liaisons Officer Technical Officer Sponsorship Officer Webmaster (the position of 1st year rep will be filled in week 2 of semester 1, next year). Think you've got what it takes? Come along and find out! To have quorum at the meeting, we need at least 35 attendees. So bring your friends! HOODIES: They ain't free. If you have one that you haven't paid for, contact treasurer(a)dcudrama.ie to give him money! We will not be giving out any more hoodies until the original batch have been paid for. That's it, I'm outta here! Bob -- Roibeard O Mhurcu # 54144094 CS2 Class Rep.

[Drama-Committee] Possible Meeting?
by Roibeard O Mhurcu 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

Hey gang, Please let me know when is good for a meeting for ALL of you! We need to have a meeting, and soon - matters to be discussed include: Financial report on the Musical My Mother Said - dates are pencilled in for April 10-12, but the MPS Hybrid awards are on the 12th and I have to assume that they will be in the venue. Storage issues (again) - We have been told we can use the old USIT office, but need to get a key. Buildings, security, health and safety and just about everyone else and their fucking dogs are getting onto me about this. The proposed Variety Show - I'd love to see it happen! The DADAs - we have been offered the upstairs of the slipper, cheap food and 3 euro drinks. Better than the new bar? You bet! Tape - we need to contact Bev and explain that due to rights issues, we just can't do it. The AGM - we need to set a date and send out an email explaining the duties of each member of committee The Venue - the floor needs to be cleaned, or we will get yet another cleaning bill. There are about 2 or 3 outstanding against us at the moment... Theatre trip - Monday night. So we need to have a meeting at some stage Sunday preferably. *tears hair out* Bob -- Roibeard O Mhurcu # 54144094 CS2 Class Rep.
