We'll make up the agenda and if anyone has anything to add, just let us know by Monday morning.

[Drama-Committee] Drama schtuff
by Joey Kavanagh 21 Oct '06

21 Oct '06

Hey guys, Just wondering what the story is with the Rocky Horror next week? Steve and Eoin, did Shea agree to us pushing the screening back to an earlier time? And what's the arrangement we have set up in terms of tickets? Are we being given 150 like last year? If so, we'll probably need to have a stand set up on Monday to sell the tickets at the discounted price. Has Jay agreed to produce it? Have the projector and second screen been booked yet? (Interrogation or what?) Also, we're gonna need to remind the Broadway people that the second instalment of €200 is due on Monday. Steve, do you want me to e-mail those people or do you want to do it yourself? Lyndsey, have we managed to source anybody to give the set-design workshop that's scheduled to go ahead next week? Apparently DLI can fund us up to €300 for workshops so I reckon that's worth checking out. I've cast my two one-acts. Maybe the cast-lists could go up on the web-site? Whatever you think yourself, Conor. The cast-list for 'Come and Go' is as follows: Vi: Dearbhla McCreesh Ru: Jennifer Tweed Flo: Sophie Cambounet The cast-list for nobody famous is as follows: Brenda: Emma O' Brien Heather: Lyndsay McGregor Madame Mooch: Lyndsey Fay Barry: Shane Murphy Gina: Catherine Carr Jo: Roisin Cooper Have a great weekend, guys, Joey

[Drama-Committee] Complaints
by Stephen Grimes 18 Oct '06

18 Oct '06

Hey guys, Two important complaints have come to my attention... 1.) Sean Kennedy was unhappy with the way the director for the panto was selected. He felt that he had an unfair chance and that he didn't get the opportunity to speak his case. I explained to Sean that the main reason why we went with Padraig was to give a first-time director a chance to do something and also to rope in the freshers. He was still not pleased about the way it was conducted. He said he still wants to do things with Drama this year but he feels a little let down by the conduct of the committee. 2.) Jason Fallon was unhappy that as producer he felt that he was bypassed in the selection of who should MC the Stars in Their Eyes. He said he wasn't unhappy with the people picked, he had no problem with the selection, but he did feel that he should of had a say in it considering he was the producer. *My opinion....* I think both are fair points. Sean's argument is disputable due to the situation whereas Jay's point is a bit more serious. I think that possibly we need to step back more as a committee and allow the producers of a show to organize and decide everything. That's why they're producers. Also its a load of our backs organization wise... I think its something we should watch out for in future and maybe discuss up in the next meeting. Just though I'd give you the heads up. Thanks guys, (thanks john... *and everyone else wonders what we're talking about*...) Steve P.S. I'd like to emphasize that these complaints were said to me in private and that this is a committee issue and should not have to come up with Sean or Jay or anyone else. (I know it won't, but just in case) Also, I'd like to emphasize more that Jay defiantly has no problem with the MC's for the Stars, but should Eoin Byrne not do it I suggest we allow Jay and Liana decide... but we'll discuss that later... and I'm starting to write a second e-mail so I should go...

[Drama-Committee] Fwd: One Act Play

This is Eoin's One Act! Its quite good, needs a bit of length but sure its still very funny! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Eoin O'Neill <eoin.oneill23(a)mail.dcu.ie> Date: Oct 16, 2006 4:34 AM Subject: One Act Play To: chair(a)dcudrama.ie Hi Steve, I had one of those sleepless nights when you're jittering with inspiration. I looked at the scripts on lazy bee and then decided to write my own. I've attached it in this email. It's quite short as scripts go but as you'll understand when you read it, that doesn't matter too much since it's mainly geared towards improvisation. Have a read of it in your own time and get back to me. If you like it, and want to start auditions this week, Tuesday, after four, and Wednsday, after five, suit best. Hope you enjoy it. Lots of manly love, Eoin Eoin O'Neill -- Stephen Grimes Applied Physics DCU Drama Chair 085 7079768 55456550
