Hey everybody, Right, was at the final 'One Act Wonder' meeting today before the festival kicks off (weep). Just a few things I thought ye should know. First of all, Martin French wanted it to be known that he was not impressed by the condition of his buzzer-thingy when it was returned to him. Apparently, he had explained how it was to be used when he gave it to us but he could tell straight away from looking at it that it hadn't been used properly. Oh, and the battery was missing (Eoghan and I had a look around the store room but couldn't find it). Right so, as you all know (I hope), the festival kicks off next Monday at 7:30 in St. Pat's. Both DCU shows are on the Monday (possibly Aisling's play to close the night?) along with entries from St. Pat's and DIT. DIT, St. Pat's & Mater Dei all have shows on both the Tuesday and Wednesday nights also. Workshops begin at 4pm on the Thursday. As Shane mentioned at the meeting on Monday, there will be another bout of 'Whose Line is it Anyway?' as well as a stage-combat workshop and random another workshop with Martin as facilitator. As well as the three pieces resulting from the workshops, there will be a few other random performances (including an excerpt from All My Sons). The awards ceremony is then set to begin at 9:30 with drinks and karaoke afterwards. Now, we're gonna need a few people to help out during the course of the week. Martin has requested one person from each of the three founder colleges to act as stage-manager/stage-assistant for the week. Ideally they'd have some experience of working backstage. First name that springs to my mind is Ashley, whatcha reckon? Also, we need a representative from DCU to for 'front of house' each night. I'll e-mail the storm-troopers for this. Any suggestions for who might be interested/persuaded? We also need to nominate somebody to participate in 'Whose Line' (perhaps somebody who hasn't already taken part) and possibly somebody else to host. Now, I was also asked about getting two lights on sticks (I'm pretty sure there's a more technical way of saying that...) for the awards ceremony. Would you be able to tell me anything about this Eoghan? I told them I'd look into it but I wasn't sure if it'd be viable. Most importantly, we need big crowds to come along (especially on the Monday night). Maybe we could have an early committee meeting and all head down afterwards? I'm going to e-mail the general membership now and let them know but it'd be cool if ye could all *really* push the festival over the next few days. Righto, to bed, to bed, Joey
