Hi, Just wondering what is the story with the band for Hair? I plat alto sax and clarinet and would love to get involved if possible... I'm a 3rd year final year student and played both instruments for Fame when DCU Drama did it. Audrey

Hey, I'm a first year doing IBLC, I meant to get involved with the Drama society at an earlier stage but it just slipped by me. Is it too late this year to get involved or can I tag along and see what its all about? Do you have set times that you meet up every week or is it all random lol a bit like this email I'm sure. Cheers, Lucas

The play in question was planned to go on in September 2008 as part of a One Act Festival. Our then PRO Cian Markey had mentioned to the committee that he was interested in putting on a the play, Singulatitis, a short time before the event. The committee told him to get the rights ASAP and to start production once they arrived. After the meeting we had to update out website, we advised our webmaster to put up the list of plays in the festival and he included Singulatitis based on the presumption that Mr.Markey would obtain the rights. The production never happened. Mr Markey did NOT apply for the rights nor did he obtain the script. As the production of the festival took up a lot of time, we did not think to update the website and take down the advertising of this play. As DCU Drama elect a new committee every year, we can only apologies on behalf of our predecessors and on behalf of Cian. I assure you that the advertising of any play that is rights protected will not happen until we have received said rights. Thank you for contacting us about your concern. Kind Regards, Sinéad McDonald -- Sinéad McDonald Vice Chair DCU Drama Society 2009/2010 DCU Pusscat Dolls Coordinator 2009/2010 Class Rep CS2 2008/2009
