[Drama-Committee] Vagina Monologues

Hi everybody, Firstly I would like to appologise for being a piss-poor officer lately. I've being going through some shit that I don't really want to discuss but I should have given my responsibilities to somebody else seeing this was the case and i'm sorry for this. Secondly, I dont think the vagina monologues is going ahead. We have hit several obstacles over the past two weeks. First of all the helix is unavailable until week 12 which is obviously out of the question and putting the show on in the venue is such a huge step down from previous show, intimate wise and this would also cut down on our pr (people traveled as far as Belfast to see the show last year having heard about it on the helix website). Secondly i have had 3 drop outs so far, one from my angry vagina just on monday which is going to be nearly impossible to recast as it is practically the anchor of the show. Finally, the v-day organisation have contacted me with an angry e-mail saying that last years follow up report was not completed and they were contemplating refusing us rights anyway, a bit harsh seeing as this is the first I have heard of this. Myself and sinead have decided that this show is far too important and people hold it in such high regards for us to do a show that is only half decent or a show that doesn't meet up to the standards of last years show. Does anybody have an opinions on the matter or think perhaps we should put the show on??? again i want to appologise for my shiteness. thats all i think Buggy _________________________________________________________________ Twice the fun—Share photos while you chat with Windows Live Messenger. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowslive/products/messenger.aspx

ABSENT: Ciara Lighting: - The workshop went well. Jay gave us a list of equipment we should ask the SU to invest in. If we grant app?d for it all then we?re bound to get some. - The new lighting desk itself is great and easy to use. 12th Night: - ADAM requested a budget from CONOR for it.

9.30 in the Old Bar guys!!! DCU DRAMA COMMITTEE MEETING Agenda: Monday 2nd March 2009. ? Ratification of last meeting?s minutes ? Any matters arising from the minutes ? Vagina Monologues ? Sponsorship ? Hoodies ? Drown Drama ? Rent ? AOB Vagina Monologues: - The options are the 19th of March or the 28th of April. If we choose the April date, Ciara will have to hand the show over to Sinead. If it?s in March it?s the week before Rent. We voted and decided that we will do it in March on the basis that the only day the girls are missing from rehearsals is the day of the show. Ciara can organise meetings with the girls individually to accommodate this if needs be. Sponsorship; - Bag packing is only available in June. It will be decided again if we will do it. If we do busking we need to get a permit. Need to start to get onto local businesses. Hoodies; -Cian will get them this week. The final figure looks to be about 24 euro. About 27 people have ordered them. Drown Drama: -Obviously it wasn?t done. We decided to do it on Tuesday in the old bar. Ed will get the sponges and buckets, Pauric will inform Niall. Rent: - Everything is going well. 1000 A3 posters and 10,000 flyers have been ordered and we should have them by Wednesday. Cian will have to go and get the ties etc in B & Q. AOB: -Adam will ring Jay this week about swapping the desks. -A radio mike was stolen from the venue. It?s worth 222 euro. We have virtually no chance of getting it back but could we look into getting things insured? -ISDA stuff is sent and the 100 euro check will be sent this week. -Pauric will begin workshops next week and will hopefully put on Play in a Day type things and Sound of Disney one Tuesday before the old bar and charge 2euro in. -We got photos of the Neyenga Drama Society and they?re on bebo. Could we make keeping this like a responsibility of the first year rep? ABSENT: Ciara. Sinéad McDonald 57416181 CS2 Class Rep Drama Committee Secretary 08/09
