[Drama-Committee] Knew I forgot something...
by Stephen Grimes 21 Jan '07

21 Jan '07

Sorry- forgot something earlier... Alan Flanaghan is back and he's ready for DRAMA. He's written a murder mystery play and he wants to know if we can put it on. He'd direct it and all that jazz. I read the first half and it's really excellent- its an excellent piece of writing! So here's our layout for next semester... W1 - Three days of Rain/ Auditions/ Workshop / Auditions for Alan's Play W2 - 36HR Show/ Workshop/ Auditions for Alan's Play W3 & W4 - Bagpacks/ Theatre Trip/ Workshop W5 - Iago/ Workshop W6 - ISDA's/ Workshop W7 - King Lear W8 - (Break) W9 - Full Monty W10 - Clubs & Socs Awards W11 - Variety Show (Bics)/ Alan's Play W12 - DADA's This gives Alan loads of time to find a cast and rehearse for week 11- and should any of them be cast in the Musical it gives them a week between the end of the musical and week 11. A suggestion thrown in was that maybe we should do week 11 like this.... Mon to Wed- Alan's show Thurs - Variety Show What do you guys think? I think its completely do-able, but thats just my opinion... let me know. Steve -- Stephen Grimes AP2 Rep DCU Drama Chair 085 7079768 55456550

If we're supposed to be voting, I vote yes. I'll admit that I was initially skeptical about the level of female involvement in the show, but, having researched it a bit, I discovered that there are three decent female singing parts (Vicki, Georgie, Jeanette), as well as four smaller female singing parts (Susan, Estelle, Joanie, Pam). Provided Jamie is committed to beefing up the female parts (the sergeant and minister could easily be turned into female parts, which would make 10 female parts and 11 male) I say "go for it". One problem though... There's a whole song where a guy sings about the joys of being a 'big, black man'!! How are we gonna pull that off?! Well, I suppose we could always pull a Shelly on it...

[Drama-Committee] Hey Guys
by Susan 13 Jan '07

13 Jan '07

Hi Guys! Just got back from my meeting with Jamie which was very productive. Not only did we discuss alot about the amount of time and energy that'll need to go into this show - but we also discussed my list of selections. He was impressed by the shows on the list but for him - one stood out - The Full Monty. Now my immediate reaction was to say - "wait a second...what about the girls...its a bit of a guys show eh?". Well that was my misconception. In speaking to Jamie and reading up on the show verses the film - the female roles have all been strengthened in the transfer to the stage. Apparently the show's writer (Terrance McNally..) wanted the females to show more about their husbands than they did in the film. There is also an added female part called Jeanette (the guys strip coach) who has some of the wittiest and original lines in the play. Her number is meant to be one the show's best! I still was a bit skeptical however - and to this Jamie responded "I have no problem taking a red pen and making two of the female roles even bigger than they are already". Which I think is pretty fair. The only thing we need to do - is make sure that when people hear about this show - they KNOW that there are good female parts in it. I dont want to exclude anyone, and I dont believe that the show does that. But we need to let them know - so that there is an appeal for all our members - both sexes. The Pros of this show are pretty valueable. For starters its very well known. Secondly - its sexual and here at DCU - when sex is offered....its taken lol Plus, its a tiny bit contraversial which is the type of humour that comes across well with college audiences. In addition to this - the songs in the show are A1! The props are easy, the costumes are easy, the set is easy! The orchestration is as follows: Bass, Drums, Guitar (Electric and Acoustic), 2 Keyboards, Percussion, Reed 1 (Alto Sax, Clarinet, Tenor Sax, Flute, Soprano Sax), Reed 2 (Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, Flute, Recorder, Clarinet), 2 Trombones, 2 Trumpets (dbl. Flugelhorn) - we can put that in the hands of our musical director and it can definitely work for us. I feel happy reccommending this suggestion and I know that it will be an absolute blast to produce! I hope you guys feel the same way! ...now bring on the opinions!
