Fwd: [Drama-Committee] Broadway...

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Stephen Grimes <stephen.grimes5(a)gmail.com> Date: Aug 31, 2006 12:32 PM Subject: Re: [Drama-Committee] Broadway... To: Eoin O' Callaghan <supernova6(a)gmail.com> Hey guys, Eoin had some great points... (Eoin- Joey needs your signature to make you able to sign checks and whatnot... he's getting the rest of them in Gorey, anyway you can get it to him???) GOREY BAGPACK I don't think Bui Bolg is 'vital' at the Gorey bagpack. As much as I love the puppets I think they'd be a bit useless and possibly cause too much hassle. After Ashbourne I'm hesitatant about getting peoples backs up. (The till manager threatened to kick us out cus we were doing 'nothing'... then again, only two tills were open and there was 8 of us...) MERCHANDISE I like the idea for a Drama crew shirt but I have two problems with it. 1.) Crews wear black so that when the lights go out you don't see them and 2.) polo necks are not gonna sell. Some people like them but alot of people prefere the typical tee-shirts. (like style soc's) I would be in favour of a white tee-shirt as well as a black one though. I think black and white hoodies is in the same vein- white isn't the best, because when the hoodies get dirty people won't wear them- perhaps we could get both? But white is pretty bitchin... =) Also, in terms of merchandise have you looked into key chains? They're cheap and everybody would most likely buy them... WICKED I see the fear in everyone's eyes when we mention the topic of money, but 'seriously' guys. Lets take a step back and review ourselves... We WERE 8 grand in debt... We ARE 4 grand in debt... And I'm not even tired yet... look seriously guys. I MEAN this... if you take NOTHING else from this e-mail then take this message home... We are the best society in DCU... And I do not fear the SPC... for when I walk throught the valley of the shadow of death I shall know no fear ... only John Cannon... Seriously- if you think we're not gonna get the funding from the SPC... well guess what... WE'LL get it SOMEWHERE else... I mean fuck... I'm going to Broadway- REGARDLESS of whatever or whoever says otherwise. So let's lose this everlasting fear and look at the facts... Do you want to see Wicked in the West End? If your answer is no- thats cool. But don't let your answer be based on someone or something else, okay. Either way we don't need necessarily NEED SPC funding- some people would be willing to pay €123 to see Wicked... but that's neither here nor there. I think things like these are best discussed in person and not over e-mail... AVENUE Q I can understand peoples hesitancy about Avenue Q, but I would like to say that in its defence, every person I've talked to about it said it was the funniest show they'd ever seen. I know its puppets but in fairness I've never seen ANY show with puppets and I think it'd be a new experience for everyone. MUSICAL Susan is in talks with the Helix and in fairness... we made a short list of shows last year, as a committee, and we rounded it down to these four shows and whatnot (depending on rights & availability etc). Personally I think that any four of those shows will sell and I think to search for a new show is only going to draw out the decision and make it more and more annoying. Also, no contract with the Helix can be signed unless we have our show picked. And if we want to start advertising in the Helix programme I suggest we pick the show at this Gorey meeting. ANYWAY... I think we proved time and time again that e-mail just exacerbates the situation. So I think we'll just send our agendas to John and talk(fight) in out in Gorey... =) Later peoples, Steve With regard to miscellaneous items that have cropped up- firstly, the *trip to see Wicked.* Eh, I'm against it mainly because the SPC will probably laugh at us if we have a grant app that includes the West End and Broadway in it. Last year, DRAMA were awarded the most SPC money out of all the societies and we ended up 8, 000 euro in debt. This year, we have to be very careful with what we ask for and particularly the way we go about doing it. Broadway is our priority and they (SPC) might even be a litle sceptical awarding us money for that as they'll look to last year as a reference point. We agreed on 2 theatre trips per semester but last year, these ranged from going to the Gaiety to St. Pat's take on The Witches. Although it sounds great, Wicked in the West End is a tad luxurious and, to the naked (and cynical) eye, a bit clique-ish. All things musical...firstly, the choice of shows for the proposed Broadway sequel. The Wedding Singer and Les Mis sound good- like John I'm slightly wary of Avenue Q, coincidently for the same reasons as Mr Cannon. I've heard from others that it doesn't have the same 'feel' as other Broadway shows and, especially for someone who has never been to (a) Broadway or (b) the West End and is going over for the big, musical splash, they might be disappointed. Just saw Les Mis in the West End and it was terrific, although slightly overlong at 3 hours. It's also a bit 'heavy' and EVERYTHING is sung in it- the only real negatives I can find for possible musical virgins who may be with us over there. DCU DRAMA's musical- I aired my views on this to Steve, John and Conor at that infamous meeting in DCU (complete with Joey and Conor pissing in the bushes) about this- maybe it's just me but I'm not convinced by the shortlist of shows that are under consideration. Last year, yes, we only had 3 when it came to the crunch but I thought that all three were good choices in their own right. Calamity Jane is being done by another drama group (forget the name) in November and I know that Baldonnell and Chanel were doing Guys and Dolls at the same time as us but, in reality, we were never competing with them for patrons. This year we're in The Helix and we will have to be competing to the same degree as other drama groups. To be honest, I don't think Batboy, and I have listened to what I could get my hands on, is a winner and they'd be my favourites of the 4 detailed options. Is there any chance of getting a list of what's available and what's not? Just for the committee's perusal? That's everything for now- and I'm beginning to feel like Elaine Bannon (or Bob) after typing this. But it's making up for not being in Ashbourne...maybe. From what I'm hearing from work, chances of me getting to Gorey for the bagpack are slim as they want me to work Friday AND Saturday. If I can't be there, I'll send my apologies to John aswell as the stuff I'd like raised for discussion- which includes...*gasps* ideas for shows... I realise this has been a long one...

[Drama-Committee] Broadway...
by Stephen Grimes 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

This is a drama week for me! What do people think of these shows for our Broadway trip? Tues 30th - Avenue Q - 8:00pm - €41.75 (COMEDY) Wed 31st - Les Miserables - 8:00pm - €36.25 (SERIOUS) Thurs 32nd - The Wedding Singer - 8:00pm - €28.75 (or €46.25 if we want closer seats) (FEEL GOOD) I've researched loads of shows and I think these three are the most interesting at the moment. I say Les Mis on broadway about six years ago- it was amazing! I've heard nothing but rave reviews about Avenue Q (Everybody a little bit racist sometime!) and The Wedding Singer (Stephen Lynch is hilarious if anyone has every seen him!) Anyway- I'm open to other suggestions... Later peeps! Steve -- Stephen Grimes Applied Physics DCU Drama Chair 085 7079768 55456550

[Drama-Committee] Theatrical Goodness
by conor.lynch36＠mail.dcu.ie 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

Hey everybody. My sister is directing a play called "A Play on Words" in the Dublin Youth Theatre on Gardiner Street on Thursday September 7th at 8 o'clock. Wondering if anyone is interested in going. Tickets are €8 (she thinks, it's possible they'll be only €6), and afterwards we can head back to my house for a pre-Gorey get-together. I need definite numbers pretty soon so get back to me.

by Susan 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

Hey fellow drama heads!! Summer's coming to an end, college is looming n' Im sure you're all anxious to squeeze in as many great nites out as ya can! The next DCU Drama bagpack is going to be in the lovely Gorey, Co. Wexford!! Its on Friday September 8th and Saturday September 9th! You're all invited to Casa Doyle for the weekend and Friday night there should be a BBQ - with a nite out in Gorey town on Saturday!! Oh yea - we'll be bagpacking in Pettits Supervalu on both days! Bring a crazy costume - or a cowboy hat n' come help us out!! There may or may not be cake - but there will surely be a bit of a laugh!! We've done sooooo well this summer raising money - and bringing our figures up in Gorey would definitely be a bonus - plus I havent seen alot of you guys in ages n' I'd love to catch up!!! :) In order to get to Gorey - there are buses to Roslare Harbour that leave from Bus Aras pretty much every hour - it'll cost you 12 Euro return with a student card (and half of this will be covered by Drama!!) - Gorey is the next major town after Arklow, and you get off the bus right outside Centra and McGoverns pub up the main street! If people need to stay over on Thursday night - let me know!! Please reply to this email n' let me know which day you can do!! or if you'll be there for both!! Love n' Hugs xoxo Suz -- Susan Doyle 55819822 Sponsorship Officer DCU Drama

[Drama-Committee] Back in three weeks...
by Stephen Grimes 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

Hey Guys, Okay, we're back in three weeks and there's alot of stuff that we should try to get organized before we get back. I was flicking through the minutes of the last meeting (the handover) and I'm just suggesting a few things they might be best done now (or over the next few weeks) so that people will have less pressure come start of college. I'm not telling people to do this, and I'm not trying to get anyone's backs up- I'm trying to get people slowly back into their positions after the long break. The next bit is just individual stuff... after that again is committee group stuff to ponder... ****************************************************************************************** Eoin: Maybe see what the deal is with hoodies/ t-shirts & other merchandise. Susan is already in contact with 'potential' (AIB DCU) main sponsors and we promise our main sponsors that we will have their logo on our t-shirts etc. Maybe you could figure out costs & whatnot so we can propose a budget set aside for merchandise. Also, we should approach Bui Bolg over the next few weeks to see if they can do Clubs & Socs Day. John: I think we should go ahead with a proper committee meeting in Gorey on 8th. Could you get the topics to be discussed and make up an agenda. Joey: Can you e-mail me all the funding-claim-forms-thingy (grant apps! that's the word!) that you got from Shane? All of them please. Thanks. Liana: Did you get that 'Fresher's Leaflet' off Joe Murray? If not I can send you it- just let me know. Elo: I approached Susan Bourke, Marko & Ashley and informed them that this position MAY be available for re-election next year. I approached them because they are the ones who ran for the position. I also suggest that no-one on committee take this role in conjunction with there existing role as it may be too much pressure. But that's just my two cents. Alan: At some point an inventory of the equipment will need to be made up. Also, you and me need to contact Una Redmond about the possibility of increased storage. Probably contact Shay as well. Also, do we have the karaoke machine and cd's as we will need these in orientation week. Suz: The portfolio looks great. Possibly send them a link to the dcu Drama Video that Bob made. Lyndsey: I know you're away and whatnot. But maybe you could start to plan workshops and stuff. What type of workshops etc... Also, Jenni approached me and said she is more than willing to run a 'set design' workshop next year. It would also be a great way to rope in people to help make the set before a show! Conor: On the Navigation Link 'Join DCU Drama' it needs to be updated. Its two years old! =) ************************************************************************************************* WEBSITE While on the website- the 'Production Guide' in the Navigation leads to two links about producing (by Elaine Bannon) How about we make this the place for all things that we work on in the workshops. i.e. a 'Tips on designing a set' or 'How to pick a director' etc etc... Does anyone else have any suggestions for the website? THEATRE TRIPS Anyway- reading through the agenda we decided that we have TWO theatre trips a semester. I propose that we do the following... 1.) Theatre trip to West End to see Wicked (provided it doesn't affect our New York trip) 2.) Theatre trip in Week 12 to see Panto. "Mother Goose" is on in the Gaiety. in Semster Two in propose... 1.) Broadway (duh?!) 2.) Theatre trip organized by FYR. What do people think? CONSTITUTION Could we get a write up of the changes so that we can propose them in next years constitution? Also, can we post the Constitution on the website? IAGO SCRIPT Read Ashling's comedy script (in full). It is absolutly fucking brilliant. I would like her contact number if anyone has it? BAGPACK Bagpack in gorey- BE THERE. Also committee meeting! AND FINALLY... You're probably wondering why I went to all this hassle... honestly... I'm bored... secondly, with all the money we're raising I KNOW it's gonna be a fan-fucking-tastic year and I don't want people to get worn out early so lets get the small tasks outta the way now. Also, I love you... And I love lamp... But mainly lamp... Steve out P.S. Joey needs Eoin's & John's signature so try to make sure you're in Gorey. P.P.S. We raised €2385.72 in Ashbourne. Combined with €1980.01 in Jervis makes €4,365.73!!! Wowza! -- Stephen Grimes Applied Physics DCU Drama Chair 085 7079768 55456550

[Drama-Committee] Sponsorship update!!
by Susan 28 Aug '06

28 Aug '06

Hi Guys! A quick update about sponsorship stuff! I was up in DCU all day on Thursday trying to ring around to my list of companies (which is at roughly 90 now)!! Most of the larger companies requested my portfolio in email form - which, sadly means I probably wont get a meeting with them (unless of course they're really impressed). The email of the re-vamped and shortened portfolio is attached. I talked to my brother in law about ways to make the portfolio better and this is what I came up with! Have a look at it! I still have a ton of people to call...but at least I got started! O2 Ireland seemed pretty genuine. The guy I spoke with was very nice and assured me that after the Ryder Cup - I could ring him and we'd have a chat about what DCU Drama is looking for in a potential sponsor! He even gave me his mobile number. I even walked around Santry chancin my arm. Lots of shops are interested in providing prizes for raffles and table quizzes (well...its a start right?) The Butchers was very interested in placing ads in programs...but I doubt he'll give us much! My best meeting of the day by far was with the new branch manager of AIB DCU!! She was very nice and assured me that AIB has a very strong tie to DCU Drama, one she wishes to keep strong! She looked at the porfolio and said she was very impressed by it. They're looking into being a main sponsor for us (which is quoted at 2,500 Euro!!!) but she has to look into her finances and check how much they can give. Shes ringing me on Wednesday. Also, I have a meeting with the manager of Redz on wednesday! All in all...the sponsorship drive is well under way - even if it is moving slowly along! Let me know what you think of the porfolio and I can send it to O2, Meteor, Diageo, 3G, Vodafone....and the rest of corporate Ireland lol xoxoxo Suz PS Bagpack in Gorey -September 8th and 9th! I expect u all to be there!! =] There'll be cake.......lots n' lots of sexual cake! PPS Committee meeting in Gorey perhaps? we have loads to discuss!! -- Susan Doyle 55819822 Sponsorship Officer DCU Drama

[Drama-Committee] Theatre Trip Oct 11th???
by Stephen Grimes 28 Aug '06

28 Aug '06

Hey, I talked to some of you about a theatre trip in Oct to see Wicked in the West End. Anyway- if we use the date 11th Oct (We don't have too- I just picked it) £35 - Wicked Ticket (€52 approx) £6.30 - Train ticket (€10 approx) €61 - Flight to Heathrow Aer Lingus (Ryanair don't fly to Heathrow and heathrow is the only one that connects to the underground. Total €123 IF SPC fund us 60% on tickets (€31.20) 50% on train (€5) Then the trip is €86.80 per person. We charge €90 per person. Flight at around 8:50 arrive in Heathrow at 10:15 Get the home flight at 20:10 arrive in Dublin for 21:25 If a matinee is at about 2/3 that gives us 3 hours either side of the show to shop/find the place/ etc... What do people think? (Not if we have 30 people we make €96... better than a kick in the crotch...) It would be pretty sweet and we WOULDN'T have to pay accomidation cus its a day trip! We don't have to use that date but I think in general its a good idea. Any queries??? -- Stephen Grimes Applied Physics DCU Drama Chair 085 7079768 55456550
