[Drama-Committee] Set Design Workshop...
by Roibeard O Mhurcu 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

DLI have just gotten back to me and have offered us a set design, sound, lighting, all in one workshop for the nights of 20th & 21st of March - week 7, in the Venue. The guy giving the workshop is a professional who will go through all aspects of the set (specifically for guys and dolls) and give us a run through on how to light it and sound options etc. I'm thinking: if we haven't already committed to a carpenter to construct our set, could we get this guy, given that week 7 is the week we want to get the set into the Venue anyway...? His name is Tom Madden (I think) and he can be contacted through Anna at the DLI at studentofficer(a)dli.ie Just thinking out loud, lemme know what you think... His costs will be about 50 bucks for expenses, and the workshop will be for 2 nights, at 3 hours per night - it's very comprehensive. The workshop is also open to students from St Pats, Mater Dei and possibly DIT. Rock n Roll Bob -- Roibeard O Mhurcu # 54144094 CS2 Class Rep.

[Drama-Committee] [Musical-cast] Notes for the week
by Musical Producer 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

Hi all, Hope you're all well and happy with how rehearsals are progressing. Just a couple of quick notes for the week ahead: - It is really important that cast members check their emails regularly for rehearsal updates. We do our best to send out the timetable at the start of the week but during the week this can change as individuals are called to rehearse. It's important that you watch for updates and make sure you know what room you are in and at what time! - Some people didn't get scripts last week when we were handing them out. If you haven't yet received a script could you please email me and let me know. I'm not going to get them copied until I know exactly how many more I need. - I'm aware that most people need notice for weekend rehearsals so just to let you all know in advance the FULL DRESS REHEARSAL will be on SUNDAY 26th OF MARCH. Can everyone please make sure that you are available for that day as all cast members must be there! We will give you the time nearer to the date. Also if you know that you need advance notice for weekend rehearsals could you please make a point of asking Iain, Alan and Olga if you will be needed over the weekends to come. This is especially important for all principles!!! - The show is in three weeks time!!! If you have a lot of lines for the show it's important that you start going over them now and the same goes for song words. Please don't leave it to the last minute! It is also important that you make every effort to be at rehearsals on time!!

[Drama-Committee] Best Event Application / Bebo-ness
by Roibeard O Mhurcu 03 Mar '06

03 Mar '06

Hi Guys, We have already been informed by the SPC (informally, pardon the pun) that if we submit Broadway for best event this year, it will not be considered for contention, as it does not meet enough of the criteria. So, we should nominate either the Panto, Merchant or the Musical. Suggestions? Oh, and one other thing. Bebo is fun, Bebo is great. Don't bother posting Bebo stuff to announce drama, cos I won't clear it. Bob -- Roibeard O Mhurcu # 54144094 CS2 Class Rep.

[Drama-Committee] Stuff what needs to be done etc.
by Roibeard O Mhurcu 03 Mar '06

03 Mar '06

Hey gang, I'll get right to the point: We need to book a large room (QG13 or thereabouts) for Tues, 5pm for our General Members Meeting - Eoin! We need to get posters up around the college advertising said meeting, and lots of them, and get them up this WEEKND - Joe M! Steve is now looking into booking a theatre trip for week 9, given that the musical HAS to go ahead in week 8. Yayness etc. The website needs to be cleaned up and any broken links/buttons removed (such as the history link, which has said 'give us a few days here' for the last 2 years) - Charlie! (I'll be lashing up loads more pics tonight, including about a GB of Merchant pics, any chance of a boost on my webspace, even temporary?) C&S noms due on Wed, 8th at 3pm, so we have some time - I'll send you what I've written so far at some stage over the weekend, if you like it, we'll submit it - otherwise I'm open to suggestions... The SPC gave me a cheque for 150 bucks the other day - for Open Day I think. I'll think of more stuff and annoy y'all over the weekend. Bob -- Roibeard O Mhurcu # 54144094 CS2 Class Rep.
