[Drama-Committee] Meeting??
by Joey Kavanagh 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

Hey guys, I think there've been some extremely arguments put forward as to why we should or shouldn't donate proceeds from musical '07 to a charitable organisation. For this reason, I'd love to have a meeting at some stage in the coming week and maybe we'll be able to come to a decision on this matter. I think a few people seem to have some interesting feedback in relation to the bag-pack last weekend as well and maybe we could discuss how we go about approaching the next bag-pack? After speaking to Conor, John, Steve and Eoin last weekend, it would seem that Sunday sems to be the day that suits people best. However, Madmoiselle O' Cleirigh seems to be otherwise engaged this coming Sunday (what time's the show? let me know and I'll see if I can make it). I'd also* really *appreciate an opportunity to talk to Siobhan about all things ELO-related and I know she's not back until this weekend (although I think it's Saturday). Not sure about Al's availability. So, do people think we should go ahead with a meeting this Sunday coming? Or should we hold off until Sunday week in the hope that we might get a better attendance? I suggest you get back to our ever accommodating secretary, Zorro himself, and let him know what you think. Yours snoozily, Joey Kavanagh -- msn: jaykavana(a)hotmail.com ph: 085 7322 505

[Drama-Committee] musical
by liana o cleirigh 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

heya, i'm really sorry i aint been around much. i've been very busy lately. come see my show in the mill, dundrum on sunday!! i also apologise for the shameless plug. i will get onto that flier for the fresher's pack but consider this . . .a physical calendar with everything drama is doing throughout the year printed on it. easy to read, freshers keep it all year and know what is coming up. we could have funny drama photo's for every month. i found it hard to keep up with everything drama was doing last year. having it all down on paper would make it so much easier. whadya think? i am IN FAVOUR of doing the musical SPECIFICALLY for charity. we have never made a profit on the musical. that doesn't mean it can't be or isn't ever done.guys and dolls is just a horrible financial memory that left a bitter sting in our mouths( in the form of bagpacking). take, for example, the 'debbie allen school of dance'; they put on a dance show over six nights, two shows a day, in the civic. they sell out, cover their costs and give the money to st. michael's house. easier said than done you say, but it can be done. SELFISH RESONS: this year's musical is a completely new venture, incomparable to previous shows we've done because we are largely selling it to people who have no connection to us whatsoever; so, we do not rely on word of mouth or family connections to sell tickets. just from a PRO . . .or "beeeyach"(thanks steve) point of view; free advertising on tv and radio is achivable, by free i mean interviews, plugs etc. however there are conditions, being we either have a child in our cast/ are giving the proceeds to charity etc. this also means presenters can give tickets awaay in the form of a competition= more publicity. also, rather than buying advertising in national papers, we can send in our own photo and blurb, followed by "all proceeds go to ****" . furthermore, services and things like props etc. can be borrowed with much greater ease if it is for a charitable cause. eg; we need twelve metal buckets and brushes for our show "annie" in the helix. may we borrow them from your store as this is a nonprofit event and we need all our proceeds to go to charity. further hype can be rallied by the charity themselves "please go see this show, we need the money". this can not happen if we do not do it for charity. LESS-SELFISH REASONS: we are not a charity. we are a non-profit drama society who help ourselves and not others. sure, we entertain others. we are all university students free from life threatening illnesses(apart from john's chlamydia) and are above the poverty line. this will be our first time competing with other societies around dublin on such a level, but because this is our first venture of such magnitude, we need an edge. i have learned that college drama societies are viewed as smarmy and insular. this is not true. the irish times used to review trinity players and ucd drama soc on a weekly basis, back in the eighties. it stopped because the standard dropped, the best thing we can give next years committee is a place on the map and a recognisable name. lets put the past behind us and reach for the stars climb every mountain top and reach for the stars and when that rainbow's shinin' over you that's when all your dreams will all come true. i wrote that myself!!!!!!! kiss kiss mwah mwah -- spread the flange. new world order.

[Drama-Committee] Bag Pack Jervis
by Stephen Grimes 16 Jul '06

16 Jul '06

HELLO PEOPLE'S!!! I am delighted to say that we have reduced that Drama debt by 25% €1,958.01 raised over the three days!!! Joey going to organize the nexy bagpack and this time it would be nice to see more (all, if possible) of the committee there. For example: Anne (John's ladyfriend) was at EVERY BAGPACK from beginning to end. She is neither a drama student nor a DCU student!!! I mean if someone like that is willing to make the effort, then I think that we should too. I will also point out that she had to work nights after EACH of those bagpacks, so she got fuck all rest!!! We all know the date of the next bagpack so I think it would be good order for you to call work NOW and tell them you're unavailable for work on those dates. As for everyone who did show up, thanks and well done. John is going to send a thank you to Jervis saying we raised two grand and I think we should also mention them in one-line in each of our programs. Joey, my debts are all cleared now. Steve out P.S. Call work, free up dates. Ta P.P.S. Well done people's, this bodes well for next year!!! =] -- Stephen Grimes 55456550 Applied Physics DCU Drama Chair Jedi Master 085 7079768 Bonnie: "Somebody save him, he can't swim!"

[Drama-Committee] Calamity jane searching for men.
by James Cranley 12 Jul '06

12 Jul '06

Hi, I was wondering if you can pass this on to any of your members that might be intrested, the Pioneer Musical & Dramatic Society are putting on Calamity Jane at the end of September in the Draiocht in Blanch (Please note you dont have to be a Pioneer). And we are currently short of a few men for the chrous. If anybody might be intrested can you please contact Mary O'Reilly, her email is maryoreilly(a)dublin.ie and phone number is 0871361162. More information is on www.aims.ie Here is some blurb for about the show... Welcome folks! To everyone's favourite gal from the Wild West! Calamity Jane a lady with a big personality – and boy, does she need it! Living in the town of Deadwood she's one of the original hard talking, hard drinking women surviving in a man's world! On foot of a bet at the local saloon, the Golden Garter, Calam travels to Chigago to bring back the actress Adelaide Adams to grace the stage at Deadwood. However, in a case of mistaken identity Calam returns with Katy, the actress's former maid. The two girls become firm friends - that is, until young Katy's feminine charms begin to appeal to the gentlemen of Deadwood – and in particular to a certain Lieut. Danny Gilmartin, a dashing young cavalry officer stationed at the local fort. All ends happily though when Calam finally discovers that she's been in love with the leading man, Wild Bill Hickock, all the time! Along the way the score is peppered with standards such as the Deadwood stage; Higher than a hawk, Secret Love, and the Black Hills of Dakota.

[Drama-Committee] Charity Bag Pack... VOTE NEEDED!!!
by Stephen Grimes 10 Jul '06

10 Jul '06

Hey guys, I was trying to think of some selling points for the bag pack, because from my experience of bagpacking (three years... grrr...) it is ALWAYS necessary to seem like your doing it for a really justified cause. So I was thinking, (and I've discussed this with a few of you already), that perhaps we should do the musical this year in aid of some charity. There are a few reasons for this. 1.) We are non-profit making society, so why not give all our remaining cash/funds away at the end of the year? 2.) Last year's musical lost money, but I think we've learned from these mistakes and if we follow Style Soc's footsteps of a charity event, I think we will sell more tickets and thus make profit and therein 'raise money for charity.' 3.) In terms of bagpacking, we can say (honestly) 'Well, yes we are a student organization, but at the end of the year we hold a charity fundraiser show and donate all our funds to charity... blah blah blah.' Realistically, this goes a long way in getting people to give more money at a bag pack. 4.) To emphisize, we are a non-profit organization and I see no reason why not to do the musical in aid of charity, because 'in fairness' it will most likely be the last thing we do next year (like it was this year) and thus the 'best time' to donate to charity. 5.) It will be ALOT easier for the PRO to sell the musical if its a charity fundraiser. 6.) Lastly, after being on committee last year and hearing all the talk of a charity fundraiser for 'this and that,' I was disappointed when we failed to deliver and I think its something that this years committee could work to improve/explore/whatever... Anyway, to sum up... Charity = Bums on seats + More Donations = Better show So in my thinking... we get a bigger better musical and the charity make money... it is a win-win situation. Anyway, I wanted to open this up to discussion, and if people are in favour/against to vote on it via e-mail. I would ask people to try and limit they're e-mails (cus we know how that turns out!) Anyway, my vote doesn't count (unless its a deciding vote) so... I'm opening it to discussion, by wednesday I would like to have the votes in (bag pack is thursday) E-mail me with your votes: Yes = Musical as charity fundraiser No = Musical is NOT charity fundraiser Spoil = Undecided in the matter Thanks, Steve P.S. You may text me or call me with your vote too. -- Stephen Grimes 55456550 Applied Physics DCU Drama Chair Jedi Master 085 7079768 Bonnie: "Somebody save him, he can't swim!"
