Howdy, This is just regarding an upcoming event that is being organised for next Thursday. The event kicks off at 6 and involves each club or society selecting 3 memembers to compete for their club or society. There will be a grand prize and spot prizes on the night. It is a simple enough event aimed at friendly competition and is free. If you have any questions feel free to ask, and of course all suggestions are more than welcome.

Name a game you would play in bed or name things a gf wouldn't let her bf do...... and so on..... Each round would begin with a member of each team approaching the podium. As the question was read, the first of the two nominees to hit a buzzer would give an answer. Each Team will be made up of 5 members, all from the committee, there has to be a "mammy" and a "daddy" and the "children" (So to speak!) It will be held in the old bar with seating for the audience at 8pm... The four societies chosen to compete against each other by MPS are: - Drama Soc - Style Soc - Music Soc - E & S Be a bit of craic and ya get to compete against other societies... Ruffle a few feathers!! Anyhuzzle, sure hit me back and let me know if you (and your society of course!) are interested in joining in and competeing... Hope to see you all there!! Cheers guys, Janice

[Drama-Committee] Hair Director
by Sinéad McDonald 11 Nov '09

11 Nov '09

Hey guys, Conor and I met with two potential directors today. The first was Claire from theatreworx and the second was Rebecca Hicky. Claire was interested but expressed that she has a couple of productions running at the same time around April/ May. She has loads of experience but was not yet able to tell us her availability and told us to perhaps look at other options. We then met with Rebecca who blew us away. She spoke about her experience working with some of the top West End directors and production teams in Arts Ed. She had loads of ideas with regards to staging, the production itself, how to get the most out of auditions and the cast. She clearly spent time thinking about the production and even addressed the race issue (which she says shouldn't be a problem) She assured us that this would be her main focus and didn't have any other projects. She spoke at length about the training and experience she has gained and could pass on to us. Myself and Conor think this is a unique chance to work with someone who is not only more than capable to produce an amazing show, but to also give our members the inside knowledge they just wouldn't get with another director. Conor and I are happy to offer her the position and would like to do so by the end of the week. Please email us feedback or any questions about the meeting. Does anyone have any objections?? Thanks Guys, Sinead and Conor. -- Sinéad McDonald Vice Chair DCU Drama Society 2009/2010 DCU Pusscat Dolls Coordinator 2009/2010 Secretary DCU Drama Society 2008/2009 Class Rep CS2 2008/2009

by Sinéad McDonald 07 Nov '09

07 Nov '09

Hey Guys, Just an update on the director situation. Rebecca (Ger's girlfriend) is gonna meet with us this week, thanks to Christine for this. Also Claire, from Theatre Worx is going to meet with myself and Conor too. She's currently doing the panto in the Helix and is supposed to be excellent- I think she's a choreographer too! If anyone wants to add to this let me know. I've been trying to get in contact with other directors but haven't heard anything back yet. Are we having a meeting this week? x -- Sinéad McDonald Vice Chair DCU Drama Society 2009/2010 DCU Pusscat Dolls Coordinator 2009/2010 Secretary DCU Drama Society 2008/2009 Class Rep CS2 2008/2009

Hi there, As part of a Media Production Society project, we are making a spoof short that will be used by DCU Student recruitment on Open Day and at schools round the country. WE NEED YOUR HELP! The spoof that we are making is to promote DCU's diverse clubs and societies and will be in the style of the MEAN GIRLS canteen scene.
