DRAMA MEETING: 27TH FEBRUARY 2006
Present: Bob, Dave, Charlie, Eoghan, Joe M, Joe K, Shelly, Steve, Eoin.
Apologies: Shane.
(1) Last week's minutes…
(2) Fiddler on the Roof…Steve with booking: cheapest
tickets-Friday 7th April: 6pm showing between 17:50 or 8pm at
22:50…more than 20 in a group rate then 10 per cent off. Possible week
of the musical: could be subject to change…Week 8 currently for the
musical: could be changed to Week 9. Theatre trip for Monday of Week
9…? Passed!!!
(3) Elaine Bannon and Marie-Louise' little project.
Idea for vocal chorus for 50 people…in communication with Elaine about
it. Tuesday 5pm next week for general members meeting where
Marie-Louise will speak about the project. Meeting idea passed!!!
(4) Elaine's letter…some good points raised. We have
done workshops and there's more to come…more visible to membership? Can
we do more? Active membership versus inactive membership…?
(5) Joe K: Dara and DLI…All My Sons- we didn't have
the rights to perform All My Sons in The Venue...we admitted it and we
accepted that we owe the rights…sent the e-mail to UCC who said they
didn't receive it but we ARE in! One extra slot for a second place at
ISDA…we were drawn third in the lottery for the extra slot. We won't
get Saturday for our slot as CIT and DIT have applied and they probably
will get preference. The Play's The Thing probably won't get the chance
to get down there…we should send down a show though…to at least to show
our face! We need cheques for bills and rights and stuff…where's Shane?
(6) Rights for Tape and My Mother Said…Dave producing
Tape. May be difficult for us to get the rights for Tape as it's so
recent and so obscure. 90 euro for My Mother Said…per performance. Eoin
to get in touch with DLI about Tape and The Helix with regard to ticket
feedback for Merchant…with Shane.
(7) Dave and piano…clashes with bookings for our
piano in the Interfaith with a random ex-Musical Director…we have
sorted it out. Have we been given a budget to buy a keyboard: 250 euro?
Look into this…Shane again?
(8) Table quiz for Wednesday this week…not logistical
as it happened. Things like this have to be passed through
committee…MPS and MSW are doing their quizzes this week…Arrgh! We're
doing this with good preparation and proper prizes, etc: we'll do this
properly or not do it at all. It's a REALLY big event…we have to put on
a show…flashy prizes. Dave was put down as producer…he's got an idea
for this quiz…format: Wikipedia have the answers: the Up to 11 table
quiz? 8 rounds…11 questions…it's gradual…as the questions go on, they
get harder and worth more points…as many 11's right as possible then we
get spot prizes!! Hooray! Motion passed!
(9) Tech workshop: 3pm, hour long. Sound workshop. Bit of a mix-up.
(10) Bui-Bolg…Thursday 5pm for rehearsal. Venue: TBC. Go ahead…
(11) Shelly: St. Michael's House: Meeting tomorrow
about it…fine to organise it. A plan for next week from Shelly about
that production.
(12) The Musical!!! Half the cast at rehearsals
tonight…where were the girls? Frustration with Olga and Alan? Can we
stop it or do something about it? Confusion over rehearsal timetable…do
we have to keep reminding them that they're in the show?? More
threatening? The committee haven't been very helpful about the musical
according to the producers…a fair point. We can help out more…show more
solidarity? Certainly…point taken. Bob (as rep) to meet with the
producers tomorrow about all things nice, etc. If there is a busy
period when committee members can't make meetings then Dave can chair
the meeting…to improve regularity of communication. Eoghan won't be
there for Week 9…awww.
(13) The Helix staff…formal complaint. To have a sit
down meeting with staff…Eoin and Shane to sit down with Una with regard
to Helix.
(14) Style Soc Fashion Show: passed that DCU
DRAMA receive a massive thank-you and the logo on the inside cover page
and a thank-you from the stage. PASSED.

Best Poster-The Merchant/ Babez in the Hood/ Potential Guys and Dolls/ One Act's /
Best Event: Broadway/ Panto/ The Musical…Broadway! Passed.
Best Fresher: Stephen Grimes. Passed.
