Hi all I have gotten onto Jon (director of Sweeney Todd) and he wants to meet with us tomorrow at 12:30 in the college (its the only time that suits him, because he is going away) so hopefully Pauric, Dec, myself and Conor will meet up with him (let me know if you guys are free). He seems concerned with the idea that we dont have a MD on board yet, and also he says he will need a copy of the script so *PAURIC* or *BARRY* can you please get Alans script so we can make a copy of it, Thanks. I will let you know how the meeting goes

[Drama-Committee] Director Related Matters!
by Adam Murphy 13 Nov '08

Hello folks, Just back from the Sweeney Todd showing. Everyone who went was blown away with how good it was. During the interval Jay Fallon got the director John Donelly to meet with Conor and I. We told him the jist of what we want to do this year in regards to Rent. He seems very interested in the idea. He'd like to arrange a meeting with us to get a better idea and would also like a copy of the script. This guy is highly recommended by everyone we talked to, by Jay himself, and the production was fantastic. I think he should definitely be in consideration to direct Rent for us, if we go for a professional. This meeting would have to be arranged very soon as he's going away for 2 weeks, from tomorrow week. The only problem is that he has said he will not work for the projected budget of 3000, but i think we can talk him down substantially from his usual rate. This needs to be dealt with as soon as possible, he has the numbers for Ger, Dec, myself, Conor and Sinead, as those were the ones i had handy. Still, get onto him as soon as we can That should be everything I have to say, and we should talk about this at the next meeting, See Y'all then Adam -- Adam Murphy DCU Drama Tech Officer 08/09
