Hey! I'd love to put myself forward for musical director! I have plenty of musical experience from the age of 3 and I started conducting 4 years ago, have been waving my arms around ever since! I have a lot of experience with vocal training and the voice but would love this opportunity to direct both instruments and voice. I've played the violin since the age of 3 and have picked up many instruments along the way. So I'd love to add a musical to my bow! =P But if ye do feel ye've someone better for the job, my dream is to produce. I've been in stage school since I was 5, involved in at least 2 and often 3 productions a year. I've experience in choreography, lighting, sound and recently was back stage manager of a production of Guys and Dolls! There is nothing I'd love more than to come back to college and sink my teeth into a musical production with DCU drama. The talent never seizes to amaze me. I really would love to be given this challenge because I know I can rise to it. Hope ye're all having a great summer! Doireann Wylde MMA3 (Assuming I pass tomorrow!)

[Drama-Committee] A library chap that wrote a musical.

Maeve.. Can you forward this on to the new committee please ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: stephen buck <stephen.buck(a)dcu.ie> To: webmaster(a)dcudrama.ie Date: Wed, 06 May 2009 11:51:56 +0100 Subject: new play Hello, I recently started working in DCU part time as a librarian. I'm also a playwright having had many radio plays broadcast on RTE and in the US. I've had a stage play produced by Red Kettle in Waterford. Anyway, to cut a long story short (in the context of Rent - and many congratulations on the success of this) I've written a musical (for seven characters) about an unwanted pregnancy set in a tower block in Ballymun. It's a comedy with serious intent. Is there anybody there who might be interested at having a look at the script (with a view to production if you like it) or what is your policy with original scripts? I look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Stephen (Buck). -- Ed Leamy #56475051 CAIS2 Class Rep. 08/09 DCU PRO Societies and Publication Committee 09/10 DCU Drama Webmaster 08/09 www.dcudrama.ie RENT Associate Producer 09 www.dcuforrent.com email: ed(a)leamy.net mob: 0872136976 --

[Drama-Committee] Rent Meeting - 27th April 2009
by Cian Markey 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

Hey everyone, Here's what came out of the meeting last night. If anyone has any questions, or wants to clarify anything I say in this, send me an email as my phone won't be fixed till tomorrow. I'll be checking my inbox every half an hour, so I won't be too long getting back to you. RIGHT! To business. 1. It has been made clear to everyone involved that DCU Drama will not be funding this production. 2. Bob will be talking to Shea and Una today, and will make them aware of this. This should satisfy their questions about the production, since a DCU Society (and by extention the office of student life) is not involved, and hasn't signed anything, so the college isn't in debt. 3. Ed is contacting Martin Conroy about getting the President's Office to fund the show (the only place left in the college that has any money). IF this does come about, the funds will be coming from DCU, the coporate identity, and will as such be viewed as sponosrship for the show. 4. DCU Press Office have been instructed by the president of the college to promote the event, and will be liaising with Bob. 5. MCD is putting €27,000 into promoting the show. 6. The show is estimated to sell 350 seats on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, with that increasing to 600 for the Thursday, Friday and Saturday showings. 7. John Donnelly has given us the programme, meaning we get any and all profits from it. Both John Cannon and Ed have sourced €3 programmes from two different suppliers. We're estimated to sell 50 programme per show, meaning we could easily make €1,200. John Cannon has the original figures for this. Let me know if you'd like them. And that's pretty much it. I hope that's cleared everythinbg up. If you have any questions, let me know and I'll get straight back to you. Cheers, Cian ________________________________________ Public Relations Officer - DCU Drama 2008/2009 Technical Officer - DCU Drama 2009/2010
