[Drama-Committee] Honey- we're HOME!!!
by Stephen Grimes 26 Jan '07

26 Jan '07

Okay guys, here's the provisional announce drama. Let me know of any issues- I'm sending it out tomorrow... I still have to contact Shay about the Venue- but I'll do it tomorrow- don't want to be ringing him at 10pm- fucking get him pissed at us!!! Start of Announce Drama... ************************* I hope you're relaxed... I hope you're rested... Because this is going to get EPIC... uh... again... Semester 2 promises everything you could ever ask for and then some... heck- the first week is already packed with stuff to do and see! * Three Days of Rain * Musical * Musicians Needed * The Full Monty Needs YOU! * Workshop ******************************************************** Three Days of Rain Estranged siblings, Walker and Nan, meet with childhood friend, Pip, in a derelict loft in lower Manhattan in 1995. The purpose of the reunion is to divide up the legacy of their late fathers, who worked as partners in a renowned architecture firm in the early sixties. Events take an unexpected turn, however, and it soon transpires that there's far more than bricks and mortar at stake… * Directed by Fiona Colhoun, produced by Joey Kavanagh, and starring DCU Drama veterans, Roibeárd ó Mhurcú, Eoin O' Callaghan and Fiona Colhoun, Three Days of Rain promises to be a powerful piece of theatre that is not to be missed. The show runs from Monday 5th - Thursday 8th of February in 'The Space' @ The Helix, with doors at 7:30pm and tickets priced €8. *** Wanted: We are currently seeking a backstage crew for Three Days of Rain.

This year's show will be: *The Full Monty!* Don't be afraid to come out and expose yourself to this musical version of the popular movie by Terrence McNally and David Yazbek. You may think you know what it's all about, but The Full Monty is one of Broadway's most touching musicals showing the lengths men will go to keep a family together. These regular, blue-collar guys simply take their problems in stride – displaced, unemployed, and feeling suffocated by the women in their lives – just wanting to earn a little respect. The Full Monty's songs and dialogue will have you screeching with laughter. Will DCU Drama go the full monty? Do you have to ask? *Girls – think this sounds like a boys show?* Think again! The stage version of the well known film is slightly different, with a much bigger role for girls with more than 4 singing roles not including the chorus. There is even an additional female character that did not appear in the film! The females in this show are not only hilarious – but they are kick ass! *The auditions will take place during week 1 – in the X Building* *Tuesday Feb 6th @ **6:30pm* *Wednesday Feb 7th @ **3:30pm* *Call Backs will take place on Monday Feb 12th * The cast of characters is as follows: *JERRY LUKOWSKI* - An unemployed mill worker *NATHAN LUKOWSKI* - His young son *PAM LUKOWSKI* - His estranged wife *TEDDY SLAUGHTER* - Her live-in boyfriend *DAVE BUKATINSKY* - An unemployed mill worker *GEORGIE BUKATINSKY* - His wife *HAROLD NICHOLS* - An unemployed supervisor at the same mill *VICKI NICHOLS* - An employed supervisor at the same mill *MALCOLM MACGREGOR* - An unemployed mill worker *MOLLY MACGREGOR* - His ailing mom *ETHAN GIRARD* - An unemployed mill worker *NOAH "HORSE" T.
