[Drama-Committee] Minutes, 27th Feb
by Roibeard O Mhurcu 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

DRAMA MEETING: 27TH FEBRUARY 2006 Present: Bob, Dave, Charlie, Eoghan, Joe M, Joe K, Shelly, Steve, Eoin. Apologies: Shane. (1) Last week's minutes… (2) Fiddler on the Roof…Steve with booking: cheapest tickets-Friday 7th April: 6pm showing between 17:50 or 8pm at 22:50…more than 20 in a group rate then 10 per cent off. Possible week of the musical: could be subject to change…Week 8 currently for the musical: could be changed to Week 9. Theatre trip for Monday of Week 9…? Passed!!! (3) Elaine Bannon and Marie-Louise' little project. Idea for vocal chorus for 50 people…in communication with Elaine about it. Tuesday 5pm next week for general members meeting where Marie-Louise will speak about the project. Meeting idea passed!!! (4) Elaine's letter…some good points raised. We have done workshops and there's more to come…more visible to membership? Can we do more? Active membership versus inactive membership…? (5) Joe K: Dara and DLI…All My Sons- we didn't have the rights to perform All My Sons in The Venue...we admitted it and we accepted that we owe the rights…sent the e-mail to UCC who said they didn't receive it but we ARE in! One extra slot for a second place at ISDA…we were drawn third in the lottery for the extra slot. We won't get Saturday for our slot as CIT and DIT have applied and they probably will get preference. The Play's The Thing probably won't get the chance to get down there…we should send down a show though…to at least to show our face! We need cheques for bills and rights and stuff…where's Shane? (6) Rights for Tape and My Mother Said…Dave producing Tape. May be difficult for us to get the rights for Tape as it's so recent and so obscure. 90 euro for My Mother Said…per performance. Eoin to get in touch with DLI about Tape and The Helix with regard to ticket feedback for Merchant…with Shane. (7) Dave and piano…clashes with bookings for our piano in the Interfaith with a random ex-Musical Director…we have sorted it out. Have we been given a budget to buy a keyboard: 250 euro? Look into this…Shane again? (8) Table quiz for Wednesday this week…not logistical as it happened. Things like this have to be passed through committee…MPS and MSW are doing their quizzes this week…Arrgh! We're doing this with good preparation and proper prizes, etc: we'll do this properly or not do it at all. It's a REALLY big event…we have to put on a show…flashy prizes. Dave was put down as producer…he's got an idea for this quiz…format: Wikipedia have the answers: the Up to 11 table quiz? 8 rounds…11 questions…it's gradual…as the questions go on, they get harder and worth more points…as many 11's right as possible then we get spot prizes!! Hooray! Motion passed! (9) Tech workshop: 3pm, hour long. Sound workshop. Bit of a mix-up. (10) Bui-Bolg…Thursday 5pm for rehearsal. Venue: TBC. Go ahead… (11) Shelly: St. Michael's House: Meeting tomorrow about it…fine to organise it. A plan for next week from Shelly about that production. (12) The Musical!!! Half the cast at rehearsals tonight…where were the girls? Frustration with Olga and Alan? Can we stop it or do something about it? Confusion over rehearsal timetable…do we have to keep reminding them that they're in the show?? More threatening? The committee haven't been very helpful about the musical according to the producers…a fair point. We can help out more…show more solidarity? Certainly…point taken. Bob (as rep) to meet with the producers tomorrow about all things nice, etc. If there is a busy period when committee members can't make meetings then Dave can chair the meeting…to improve regularity of communication. Eoghan won't be there for Week 9…awww. (13) The Helix staff…formal complaint. To have a sit down meeting with staff…Eoin and Shane to sit down with Una with regard to Helix. (14) Style Soc Fashion Show: passed that DCU DRAMA receive a massive thank-you and the logo on the inside cover page and a thank-you from the stage. PASSED. (15) Clubs 'n' Socs Awards: Best Poster-The Merchant/ Babez in the Hood/ Potential Guys and Dolls/ One Act's / Best Event: Broadway/ Panto/ The Musical…Broadway! Passed. Best Fresher: Stephen Grimes. Passed. Outstanding Individual: Bob. Passed. -- Roibeard O Mhurcu # 54144094 CS2 Class Rep.

by Musical Producer 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

Hey Guys & Dolls, Iain's just emailed us with a few rehearsal requests for this week and so we've added them to your timetable. Note the changes are highlighted. If you are not called to the dance rehearsal then please attend the other rehearsal running at that time. Also I would like to ask *ALL CAST MEMBERS *to make every effort to attend rehearsals! Attendance has been quite poor and in order for *YOUR* show to be a success you need to be there at the rehearsals. We apologise for the delay in getting the rehearsal timetable to you before yesterday but there was a problem with the mailing list, we did our best to get the info out asap. It was great to see people contacting us looking for the info and showed cast dedication. All of us working behind the scenes are putting our hearts and souls into making this show a success. We have given up our time and put a lot of effort and money into making sure you guys will have everything you need for the show to go down a storm. We need the cast to play their part (sorry for the bad pun) and show up to rehearse when called. This is the biggest production in the DCU Drama year and has already been mentioned in Flashback and An Tarabh by SU members. We want it to live up to the buzz that is already circulating! We want this show to be fantastic..not just for the audience but for every single person involved! Here's this week's rehearsal schedule: Monday - Music Rehearsals - CG01 & CG03 - Guys be there at 6pm, Dolls be there at 7pm! Tuesday - Music Rehearsals - CG01 & CG03 - Everyone be there at 6pm Dance Rehearsals - male chorus from 6-9pm, including benny, angie the ox, big jule, society max, nathan, sky and any female chorus who learnt male dances last week-they'll know.

[Drama-Committee] [Musical-cast] Cast and crew night out at Barbie vs Action Man Night!
by Musical Producer 27 Feb '06

27 Feb '06

Hey guys, I was thinking it might be a good idea for a Guys and Dolls posse to head out together to the Barbie vs. Action Man night on Thursday as a bit of a bonding seisiún. Rehearsals should be over by 8:30 - 9:00 at the latest and things only kick off in the pod at 11pm so that should give us plenty of time to run home, get changed and meet up at about 10:30 or so to head in. Anybody not on campus is more than welcome to come back to mine and Suz's apartment to get ready. Anyway, 'twas just an idea. Let me know what ye think, Joey Kavanagh -- Conor Farrell (conor.farrell8(a)mail.dcu.ie) Laura Aspil (laura.aspil2(a)mail.dcu.ie) " Mayor: Jack, please, I'm only an elected official here, I can't make decisions by myself!

[Drama-Committee] Interfaith issues
by David Grimes 24 Feb '06

24 Feb '06

Hi Denise, I'm aware you've heard about the scheduling conflicts with the Interfaith piano on Tuesdays, and I think I have sourced a solution to keep everyone happy. I am aware you use that piano for choir and lessons, and, as you know, the DCU Drama musical rehearsals are beginning in earnest next week. Our MD and Piano player has been using a high quality 5 octave keyboard, which is fantastic for most applications, but unfortunately is not at all useful for dance rehearsals or full score playing, and the keyboard cannot deliver enough whack to be heard loudly when one has 30+ people performing dances and such madness. I know that you have been understandably reliant on this piano since the unfortunate death of the SPC PA, and are currently awaiting a replacement. Thus, I have proposal that may alleviate both our problems; How about we give you our keyboard for the next four weeks, and book a room of your choosing for Tuesdays? That way, music soc will have the interfaith on Mondays and still have a viable alternative to the Interfaith piano on Tuesdays for the next month. I know it is an inconvenience, but as you know we share a pool of membership and this I think is best for both, with no one losing out. Also, the musical has a bloody huge cast and relatively short time frame in which to make them sing, dance and act well enough to entertain crowds! People reply to me as soon as you can, and DCU Drama would be very grateful if you would allow us this small incontinence for the greater benefits to society life, to which we know music soc are huge contributors. Yours, David Grimes. Vice Chair, DCU Drama ~Non Curo Hombre.. Si Mentrum non habet, non est Poema!~
