by Cormac Cashman 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Hey Guys My name is Cormac Cashman. I'm emailing you because I have heard that you're one of the biggest and most successful societies in DCU. I would like to meet with a member of your committee or your chairperson to discuss a proposal I have for your society. I am running modelling heats in conjunction with a top Irish modelling agency. My hope is to run an event in conjunction with your society, with a top prize of a professional year long modelling contract in DCU for DCU students alone. If you want to be the society that brings this event to DCU, contact me at this email address, or call the number below. Cormac Cashman 087 6731009

The play was sold-out at the the Dublin Fringe Festival and is back, due to popular demand. The play is on from the 2nd - 7th March in the Mill Theatre, Dundrum. There is food, a gourmet sandwich included in the price of the ticket. The tickets are €15/12. We would very much appreciate you forwarding this to your students and hope this is of no inconvenience to you. Thank you for your time, Bairbre Meade -- Broken Doll Productions, Mob: 086 3789 068

[Drama-Committee] Minutes
by Sinead McDonald 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Can someone clarify when drown drama is?Its advertised as tuesday at 9..should we not just do it then? DCU DRAMA COMMITTEE MEETING Agenda: Monday, February 23rd 2009 ? Ratification of last meeting?s minutes ? Any matters arising from the minutes ? ISDA ? Sponsorship Update ? Lighting Desk update ? Rent Matters- Any update? ? Ger broke the bungee cord- Legend! ? AOB ISDA: - Sent us the guide for tech and accommodation. - Pauric doesn?t want to send a show; Holly is the lead in the 12th Night so Joey?s play will be sent. It isn?t much visually but the monologues are good. We at best would win best actor. - All paperwork needs to be got off Pauric and given to Joey. The checks need to be sent along with the forms. Joey needs to get the rights but they are available. Sponsorship: -Cian suggested an idea for sponsorship for next year. We could send out sponsorship application forms and offer the companies free tickets to Rent to showcase what they would be sponsoring. All agreed it would be a good idea. -Everyone needs to get onto people for sponsorship. Lighting Desk: -Dec got onto Jay. He?ll swap at some stage this week (not before Strictly.) Rent: - 106 tickets have been sold already. - Cian should have the posters by the end of the week and cast should begin postering by next week. - A production meeting needs to be called asap. - A props manager is needed; Ger will do it. AOB: - Strictly needs tech. DEC will do sound and ADAM will do lighting. - We don?t know if drown drama will be tomorrow or Wednesday? We will try and clarify this. - The DCU Uganda Drama club sent us cards. Ed will update the website with the details. - There have been a number of short film submissions. Paddy Thunder?s sounds good; we don?t know much about the other one. - Absent: Pauric and Ciara Sinéad McDonald 57416181 CS2 Class Rep Drama Committee Secretary 08/09

Hey, Can everyone please read and follow any instructions accordingly... (On a different note... Cian can you please do the strictly posters???!!!) Peace out! DCU DRAMA COMMITTEE MEETING Agenda; Monday 16th February, 2008 ? Ratification of last meetings minutes ? Any matter arising ? Pillowman + ISDA ? Lighting Desk ? Bank Balance ? Clubs and Socs day 2 ? RAG week ? AOB Absent: Adam and Ciara Pillowman + ISDA: - The Helix was really helpful about it. The 600 euro is going into the Rent account. - The show is not allowed to be put on anywhere in Ireland; this rules out ISDA. - Suggestions were made for the show to be put on for friends and family but the repercussions would be terrible if this got out. - So far Joeys play ?Bash? looks to be the only runner. Another option is putting a one woman show together with Holly?s material. PAURIC will get onto her and hopefully we will have a decision next week. Lighting Desk: - We found the mouse and it costs 50 euro. It was decided that we should go ahead and swap the desk with Jay as putting it off further may result in hard feelings. DEC and ADAM will sort this out. - The current desk is obsolete and if it breaks we have no leg to stand on. Bank Balance: -Currently the balance is 1654.69 but after claims etc we should have 6700. Clubs and Socs day 2: - Weds 18th 10-4. DEC and ED will set up at 10. Others will be there later on to relieve them. CIAN will make a big Rent poster and they will have the other big poster too. RAG week: - Drown Drama will be done after Strictly... on Tuesday. Need to organise sponges and buckets etc. AOB: - Now that Pillowman is out, Pauric will be doing workshops weekly. There will be three this week. There will be a lighting workshop and Dec suggested having a talk about directing and producing too. There was a suggestion of doing Improv Comedy and play in a day. - EVERYONE needs to encourage people to go to these workshops and attend themselves. - Conor cleared up the SPC points system. This doesn?t determine the funding we get, it?s just a rewards system that gives points to societies for the events they have. SINEAD will get in contact with Eimear and keep her up to date on the events. - We need to make sure that before any work goes into a play, the director needs to have the rights. We should also draw up contracts for shows. RENT meeting with John: - We need a vocal coach. Andrew and Trudy haven?t the time. John knew a guy (Kevin) and called him, he attended rehearsals that night. We agreed to cap the payment at 1500. 500 could be fundraised and 250 off Andrews?s payment should ease the expenses. That?s for 9 hours a week for 5 weeks. - We need to do fundraising. Try every company you can, think outside the box? This will be the main responsibility of the production team. - Sinéad McDonald 57416181 CS2 Class Rep Drama Committee Secretary 08/09

16 Feb '09

Hi Committee! I was just enquiring about how the royalties for plays system works! If the playwright is dead for more then 50 years do royalties still need to be paid? How do you get permission to stage a play and pay the royalties? Thanks a million!! Orla McGreal

Whilst it is very disappointing that this has occurred we appreciate your position and so as a goodwill gesture we are happy to waive the cancellation clause of the contract. We will transfer the funds paid to the RENT account but we would like to state that this is an exception on this occasion only and we would not be in position to do this again should a similar circumstance arise in the future. We do hope that you will have a more successful outcome next time and wish you the best of luck with the Limerick run. Kind regards, Tara -- Tara Walsh Programme Coordinator a.
