Hey Guys, Congratulations on all those involved in last weeks musical, it really was a fantastic show.For all those now feeling a void in their life's, we have a couple of things to fill in that empty spot in your heart. *Demonstration of Solidarity: **Wednesday at 2pm on 'the green' in front of The Hub** After a slight change of plan, the demonstration of solidarity against the discontinuation of funding for the Student Activities Officer position will now take place this coming Wednesday at 2pm on 'the green' in front of The Hub*, coinciding with the SPC/SCC Old School Sports Day. <http://life.dcu.ie/forum/viewthread.php?tid=1427>I would encourage everyone who cares about society life in DCU to come and show your suppoprt. The position of *Student Activities Officer is vital if we wish to keep our reputation as one of the most active student colleges in Ireland. So come one, come all and show the college that it's student will not stand such a move. FORBIDDEN: MON TUES WED: The Venue: Four Euro *Come and see FORBIDDEN - a brand new play written by Robin Cafolla! Staring some DCU Drama vets alongside some very talented newbies!

Here Drama will be competing for Best Society, Best Society Event( FAME: The DCU Musical), Best Individual( Susan Bourke) and Best Fresher ( Gary O' Donoghue). Either way it shall be a fun evening for all. * AGM: Annual General Meeting *In Week Eleven, this years committee's tenure will be coming to a close, and we will be electing a broad spanking new committee. Being on a drama committee is an amazing year to spend a year, however it does involving living and breathing drama for a whole year.I would advise anyone interested in running for committee to contact us just to find out exactly what they are running for.

[Drama-Committee] Very short minutes to a very weird meeting
by Susan Bourke 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

I think we are all agreed that it was a fairly odd meeting! Susan :-) DCU DRAMA COMMITTEE MEETING * * *Agenda: **Monday, March 31st, 2008*** * * * * - Ratification of last meeting's minutes - Any matters arising from the minutes - ISDA - Student Activities Officer - Six Semesters - Fame - Clubs and Socs Awards - AOB *ISDA:* - we didn't get any nomination at the awards last night, but never mind - an option for next year is to prepare a specific show for ISDA from the beginning of the year, but that's not really the way we work - we were charged €600 for storage and transport of the sets but we will hopefully be able to claim it back from the SPC *Student Activities Officer:* - there's a protest next Tuesday at 2:30pm - they want society activities happening around the place - we don't really have time to organise anything specific - just show up and make our presence known, wear drama hoodies *Six Semesters:* - John says it's okay for the committee to see the movie before the premiere, so that we can include it in nominations for the DADAs -he hasn't given us a specific date yet *- Declan to find out exactly when we can view it* *Fame:* - Steve and John are both very stressed out over the musical - it might be advisable to have two producers next year *Clubs and Socs Awards:* - everyone who should be at the awards should get a ticket *AOB:* - nope *Next meeting: **6:45pm**, **Monday, April 7th, 2008***

[Drama-Committee] Week Eight: Calm before the storm
by DCU Drama 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Heyup Guys, Just a couple of things to tell you about your society this week. I.S.D.A Festival 2007 / 2008 For those of you who don't know, DCU drama are competing against all the other colleges in Ireland in the Irish Student Drama Awards. With Theory of Everything, Disco Pigs and The Woods competing, we hope to do the society proud. If you want to find out more details about the festival and the time and locations of shows, check out www.isdafestival.com . Fame : The DCU Musical Next week will see one of the biggest student run shows in all of Ireland. With a stellar cast and amazing production team, this is set to be one of, if not the highlight of the DCU Drama calendar. Get your tickets sooner rather than later, to avoid dissappointment. To find out more please visit www.famedcu.ie Students Activities Officer As you may or may not be aware, the position of Student Activities Officer, currently occupied by Ms. Lisa Muldowney, is being discontinued with effect from the end of the current academic year. What this represents is a huge blow to society life in DCU. From my first day as chair Lisa, in her role of Student Activities Officer ,has been a huge support and without her guidances DCU Drama would not be the way it is today. I would ask all our members to visit the thread at http://life.dcu.ie/forum/viewthread.php?tid=1427 to comment on this and show the university that the student body finds this move to be against the wishes of its students. Thanks Guys Pauric Carroll DCU Drama Chair 2007 /2008 -- www.dcudrama.ie
