[Drama-Committee] Layout to date!
by Stephen Grimes 15 Aug '06

15 Aug '06

Guys & Dolls, Here's a vague layout of next semester. (We discussed it on Sunday) Think I included everything. Things are organized in "Comment Boxes." For example, move your mouse over September 18th and a little box should appear saying everything planned for that week. Move to next week and continue etc etc... That cool people??? Siobhan get in contact with me asap. Later people, Steve -- Stephen Grimes 55456550 Applied Physics DCU Drama Chair Jedi Master 085 7079768 Bonnie: "Somebody save him, he can't swim!" Peter: "Oh, he's not even kicking. Kick Joe, kick." Lois: "Peter, he's a paraplegic!" Peter: "That doesn't mean he can't hear. Kick Joe, kick!" - Family Guy

[Drama-Committee] Drama bag-pack
by Joey Kavanagh 14 Aug '06

14 Aug '06

Hey guys, Just a quick e-mail to let ye know that your presence is requested at the second instalment of the DCU Drama bag-pack trilogy, which is set to take place between Friday 25th and Sunday 27th August in Dunnes Stores in my hometown of Ashbourne. Y'all are welcome to stay chez Joey if needs be (but I'm gonna tell you straight off that it's nowhere near as big or impressive as Steve's house). We'll have a barbeque on the Saturday night, weather permitting, and then we can all hit Coco's (the local dive... I mean, er, hotspot). Drama will cover half the cost of any bus-journeys required to get to Ashbourne (and possibly more if you're coming from an especially far flung place). I totally understand that ye probably have better things to be doing with your weekend, but we would be eternally grateful if you could even give up a few hours to help us out. So, if you could let me know whether or not you think you can make it, I'd really appreciate it. Hope ye're well, Joey

[Drama-Committee] Some light reading for you all!

06 Aug '06

Hey Guys, Well...I have been doing a bit o' drama homework while here in NY! The four shortlisted musicals (minus reefer madness..cuz I wasnt sure about rights) have been researched n' put into word docs for your approval. Alan has already looked them over and gave his OK for me to send them on to the committee! Have a read of each one (at your own leisure) n' think about which musical you think DCU Drama should put on next year! Dont forget - we're in the Helix...so we've a mighty big stage to fill! n' a mighty big budget ALREADY! Anywho - I wanna send on some sample songs too...but Im not sure I can...I'll try anyway! Im back from NY on the 15th of August - maybe when we're bag packing in Ashbourne we can have a meeting? I'd like to vote on the musical as soon as possible so we can decide on a director n' tell the helix for advertising purposes etc. Hope u guys are having a good Summer! I cant wait 2 get back :) Love n' Hugs, Suz -- Susan Doyle 55819822 Sponsorship Officer DCU Drama

[Drama-Committee] Meeting??
by Joey Kavanagh 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

Hey guys, I think there've been some extremely arguments put forward as to why we should or shouldn't donate proceeds from musical '07 to a charitable organisation. For this reason, I'd love to have a meeting at some stage in the coming week and maybe we'll be able to come to a decision on this matter. I think a few people seem to have some interesting feedback in relation to the bag-pack last weekend as well and maybe we could discuss how we go about approaching the next bag-pack? After speaking to Conor, John, Steve and Eoin last weekend, it would seem that Sunday sems to be the day that suits people best. However, Madmoiselle O' Cleirigh seems to be otherwise engaged this coming Sunday (what time's the show? let me know and I'll see if I can make it). I'd also* really *appreciate an opportunity to talk to Siobhan about all things ELO-related and I know she's not back until this weekend (although I think it's Saturday). Not sure about Al's availability. So, do people think we should go ahead with a meeting this Sunday coming? Or should we hold off until Sunday week in the hope that we might get a better attendance? I suggest you get back to our ever accommodating secretary, Zorro himself, and let him know what you think. Yours snoozily, Joey Kavanagh -- msn: jaykavana(a)hotmail.com ph: 085 7322 505

[Drama-Committee] musical
by liana o cleirigh 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

heya, i'm really sorry i aint been around much. i've been very busy lately. come see my show in the mill, dundrum on sunday!! i also apologise for the shameless plug. i will get onto that flier for the fresher's pack but consider this . . .a physical calendar with everything drama is doing throughout the year printed on it. easy to read, freshers keep it all year and know what is coming up. we could have funny drama photo's for every month. i found it hard to keep up with everything drama was doing last year. having it all down on paper would make it so much easier. whadya think? i am IN FAVOUR of doing the musical SPECIFICALLY for charity. we have never made a profit on the musical. that doesn't mean it can't be or isn't ever done.guys and dolls is just a horrible financial memory that left a bitter sting in our mouths( in the form of bagpacking). take, for example, the 'debbie allen school of dance'; they put on a dance show over six nights, two shows a day, in the civic. they sell out, cover their costs and give the money to st. michael's house. easier said than done you say, but it can be done. SELFISH RESONS: this year's musical is a completely new venture, incomparable to previous shows we've done because we are largely selling it to people who have no connection to us whatsoever; so, we do not rely on word of mouth or family connections to sell tickets. just from a PRO . . .or "beeeyach"(thanks steve) point of view; free advertising on tv and radio is achivable, by free i mean interviews, plugs etc. however there are conditions, being we either have a child in our cast/ are giving the proceeds to charity etc. this also means presenters can give tickets awaay in the form of a competition= more publicity. also, rather than buying advertising in national papers, we can send in our own photo and blurb, followed by "all proceeds go to ****" . furthermore, services and things like props etc. can be borrowed with much greater ease if it is for a charitable cause. eg; we need twelve metal buckets and brushes for our show "annie" in the helix. may we borrow them from your store as this is a nonprofit event and we need all our proceeds to go to charity. further hype can be rallied by the charity themselves "please go see this show, we need the money". this can not happen if we do not do it for charity. LESS-SELFISH REASONS: we are not a charity. we are a non-profit drama society who help ourselves and not others. sure, we entertain others. we are all university students free from life threatening illnesses(apart from john's chlamydia) and are above the poverty line. this will be our first time competing with other societies around dublin on such a level, but because this is our first venture of such magnitude, we need an edge. i have learned that college drama societies are viewed as smarmy and insular. this is not true. the irish times used to review trinity players and ucd drama soc on a weekly basis, back in the eighties. it stopped because the standard dropped, the best thing we can give next years committee is a place on the map and a recognisable name. lets put the past behind us and reach for the stars climb every mountain top and reach for the stars and when that rainbow's shinin' over you that's when all your dreams will all come true. i wrote that myself!!!!!!! kiss kiss mwah mwah -- spread the flange. new world order.
