here have a read. john ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Niamh McKeon <niamh(a)stopwatch.ie> Date: 10-Jan-2007 17:28 Subject: Scope Volunteers To: sec(a)dcudrama.ie Cc: Ceoladh Sheahan <scope(a)stopwatch.ie> Dear John, I hope you are keeping well. I am currently working on the fourth series of the Science and Entertainment programme called Scope which airs on RTE Two. We are currently making a programme about the science of humour and are setting up an 'experiment' in the form of a small stand up show in the Bewleys Cafe Theatre on Grafton St. The aim is to find out about the science of a joke and essentially what it is that makes us laugh. Naked Camera's Meave Higgins and a few others are taking part and our presenter Danann Breathnach is going to be giving stand up a shot! We would really like some volunteers to be part of the audience and show us what is funny and what is not! The shoot will be on Wednesday 17th January from 7pm until about 9pm. I would really appriciate it if you could pass this info on to anyone who might be interested in coming along and ask them to contact Ceoladh Sheahan on 01 4100 845 for further details. Kind regards and many thanks, Niamh McKeon Scope Production Assistant niamh(a)stopwatch.ie stop.watch television Guinness Enterprise Centre Taylor's Lane Dublin 8 Ireland Tel: +353 1 4100 845 Fax:+353 1 4100 826 -- John Cannon Science & Health Convenor DCU DRAMA Secretary 55609739 Pha1 086-2120067

Firstly, I agree with John. Fuck difficulty levels. I don't think there's a show we couldn't pull off with a bit of hard work. That said, I REALLY don't want to do Grease. It's kinda.... pedestrian. We could mooch off the current popularity of High School Musical I suppose.

[Drama-Committee] Tis a sad, sad day...
by Susan 09 Jan '07

09 Jan '07

Hey Guys, Ok firstly Im going to give you the good news: We have hired a choreographer! yay! Bad news is...we can't do The Hot Mikado. I spoke to the chair of the Teacher's Society and they said it isn't up to them. Basically they've had the rights since last March! Weinberger should have gotten in touch with us to inform us of this much sooner - but they didnt. Plus they have no idea how far anyone in Ireland is away from each other. According to the chair of the society - they called weinberger when they recieved the Helix brochure! Whoops! So I've gotten upset - and angry and it didnt solve things. Basically - we need to pick a new show. I'm going to all Jamie first thing in the morning to discuss our options. I'm going to send an email to Tara "our favourite person ever" Nolan now...cuz the Helix need to be informed. CRINGE. Anyone has any ideas...send em this way.

I think we should investigate if Aida has become available, like we discussed in the meeting, and if not then look into one of the other possible shows we discussed. Maybe Singin' in the Rain or, failing that, Batboy ot one of the others? >From: Susan <suz143(a)gmail.com> >To: "Drama Committee" <drama-committee(a)lists.redbrick.dcu.ie> >Subject: [Drama-Committee] Tis a sad, sad day... >Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2007 21:07:02 +0000 > >Hey Guys, > >Ok firstly Im going to give you the good news: We have hired a >choreographer! yay! > >Bad news is...we can't do The Hot Mikado.
