[Drama-committee] And so on...
by Christopher Samuel Carroll 28 Nov '03

28 Nov '03

I'm dumbfounded by this recent wave of communication within the society through the committee list...(clambers on to bandwagon)...So I had to throw in something myself, inbetween learning lines for "Someone..." - Paul has the right idea and I completely endorse his views and any other haircare products he may or may not wish to promote; let's not take it too seriously and remember that we're all working towards the same goals. SCORE. Just for the sake of the entertainment and, dare I say it, drama, that this Macbeth debate is causing, I'll chuck in my two cents: nobody's discouraging the guy or completely ruling out the idea, and everyone would love to see dcu drama put on a good production of a Shakespearian tragedy. The caution (in certain cases, eyebrows raised to physically incredulous heights) expressed is proof that it's being taken seriously - to treat it light-heartedly and 'just have a go at it' is to demean and ridicule the guy - it's a huge undertaking that demands a lot of thought and discussion and planning (God almighty, I can't believe I'm actually advocating the buraucracy of the society...) before any action is taken. There's no point in putting a lot of work into something when there is little possibilty of success - if directors and actors (especially Freshers) are working in a failing production, it is not enjoyable and it is not worth doing; it turns people off drama and causes more problems than it's worth. Which is why it needs to be treated very cautiously - it's such a demanding play on all fronts, that if there are any additional major obstacles (lack of quality actors, directors, time, commitment - the problems that have surfaced so far this term), it makes the situation untenable. 'til Monday Christopher Samuel Carroll "Truth on the stage...must be real, but rendered poetic through creative imagination"

[Drama-committee] PRO Storm Troopers
by Paul May 28 Nov '03

28 Nov '03

Okay, it looks like Riona's PRO Storm Troopers will have to be drafted in to put up posters today. I'm not in today, I'm on a serious dealine, and Lisa's not free either. Can somebody get back to me and let me know that we're covered to put up posters? I think we should go crazy on the publicity for this, espeically if we can't sell tickets directly. It might be worth getting the same amount of posters done again. Anyway Mail me or call me at home (01-8481057) Paul -- p a u l m a y www.paulmay.org

[Drama-committee] Text for Site
by Paul May 27 Nov '03

27 Nov '03

Seriously folks, send me the basic text you want to go on the site to publicise the plays, I don't know enough about the plays to write it, I would otherwise. So "XX is the story of" or "XX is a tale set in" or whatever. It doesnn't have to be be perfect, just a couple of hundred words that I can write up, and stick up on the site. I'd also like to get a copy of the poster graphic fo "Someone" to wham up there...and the flier graphic too. Anyway, get back to me as soon as possible. Paul -- p a u l m a y www.paulmay.org

[Drama-committee] Last Night :)
by Paul May 27 Nov '03

27 Nov '03

How are we? Last night was cool, fairly decent turnout of "classic" drama folks. Seriously...a bandana! I was happy enough with it, I'm sure more and more people will come out of the woodwork as the year rolls on. We have a good solid bunch of people who are up for doing things, and that's good. Anyway, I won't be in today, so good luck with the posters. Can somebody tell me how the tickets are being sold? Is it EXCLUSIVELY through the Helix? That'd be a bit weird, so we'd just have to focus on publicity and talking to classes, rather than selling tickets. Bev, are you planning on having a dress rehearsal for "Someone Who'll"? Let me know if you are and I'll pop along with a decent camera to take photos. Emm...that's about it I think. I'll sort out the mailing list thing for you today Chris, and I'll add MusicSoc to the list too...they were taken off at the last purge of old addresses. Audi Paul for the sit -- p a u l m a y www.paulmay.org

[Drama-committee] Posters
by Paul May 26 Nov '03

26 Nov '03

Couldn't hang the posters today as they're not stamped. Whoever's about tomorrow, you can get the stamp off Mark, Mike Moriarty, or whichever poor unfortunate member of the SPC you find first. There's a chance Mark might leave it in the cubby hole, so check there in the morning. Many apologies Paul -- p a u l m a y www.paulmay.org

[Drama-committee] Writeups for upcoming events
by Paul May 26 Nov '03

26 Nov '03

Hey, this is especially for Daniel and Medb. I'd like to put a blurb up to promote Someone and Antigone. Could you both write a couple of hundred words, give me dates and times, and any posters and graphics you have...send them on and I'll add them to the site, and the mailing list. Any poster need hanging, let me know. I've also given flyers out to about 20 people who work at the airport, should get a few takers for Someone. Later Paul -- p a u l m a y www.paulmay.org
