DCU DRAMA COMMITTEE MEETING
Agenda: Monday, September 24th, 2007
The week that was…:
- the orientation piece went down a storm
- the stand was a success
- the workshops went really well, maybe fifty to sixty newbies showed up
- manhunt went well, good decision to only give wine though
- yay for all the committee
- and yay for Conor for doing the posters
The week that is…:
- karaoke is off the agenda because the SU are doing karaoke in the bar every week
- workshop on Tuesday between 6pm and 7pm in CG20
- Pauric doesn't want to do it again, Bob can't do it, could Liana do it maybe? or possibly Sean Kennedy? Stan?
- Pauric to contact people
- premier of the Full Monty on Wednesday, wanted another event for this week to replace karaoke
Preparation for Clubs and Socs Days:
- want to do a performance on the Wednesday, maybe outside the Henry Grattan or in the Grattan Street
- half an hour of acts organised
- Alan, Fiona and Brendan are doing Avenue Q again
- Take That medley
- Niamh Maher will do a song
- Greg Fitzpatrick might do a song too
- some of the girls are going to do You Can't Stop the Beat
- just bring the banner and a CD player
- what about microphones? it would be simpler without equipment but microphones would look more professional
- Pauric to ask Lisa who do we need to speak to about using the Street
- there's a meeting this Wednesday at 1pm to pick clubs and socs stands
- be there around half twelve or quarter to one just to be sure
- everyone to send Susan their timetables so that Susan and Pauric can work out a rota for manning the stand
- Alan to look after the lamination of the membership cards
- we give the cards to the members as they join
- Jenni has the cash box, that's where the membership money goes
- separate box for the Broadway raffle tickets
- people can buy as many tickets as they like
- at the EGM we will raffle off the Broadway trip, and runners up will get hoodies
- Conor to make Broadway posters
- get posters stamped on Friday and put them up early Monday morning
- we will just use a raffle ticket book and write people's names and numbers on the back
- be nice but don't be pushy
- wear costumes at the stand
- there will be a workshop on the Thursday evening as well at 6pm
- Pauric to try and contact Bui Bolg
Musical update:
- Josef Weinberger doesn't give a set price for everything
- rights: minimum £93 per performance
- £225 for a rehearsal set of scripts
- minimum rental of three months
- full details in the attachment to this email
- Fiona to speak to Alan Keegan and Susan Doyle about the process of organizing the musical
- Fame and the Wiz are both available but it might be better to go with Fame because the Wiz needs an all-black cast
- Fame would probably sell better than the Wiz
- it will be up to the producers to decide, but our preference is Fame
- if we don't have producers by Friday of Week 3 we will go with Fame
Broadway update:
- grant ap is done
- it's based on €450 and if we don't get that the members will have to pay €500
- all fine for the moment
New boards:
- a board with our drama events on it
- one in the Hub, and maybe one in the Grattan Street
- can get new boards from the poster people
- Alan to speak to the poster people when they come
Game, SET and match:
- the flats are gone from the Venue
- Shea got rid of them because apparently we were told to move them and didn't
- maybe the alternative to bringing in new boards would be to get a projector to project sets on to the stage
- Pauric to talk to Shea and Jay (it rhymes!) about getting a white projector board
Lending of flats to DCU Art:
- they're down in the Venue
- Drama's cool with it
- thank you! :)
AOB:
- signatories for signing cheques are chair, vice chair, treasurer and secretary
- fliers for the stand: one side 'join drama' and the other side 'free broadway trip'
- chalk up 'join drama' on blackboards
Next meeting: 7:30pm , Sunday, September 30th, 2007
