SHINDIGGERY!!

Saturday 18th December - Submission date now passed.

Not content with staging one production before Christmas, we want more! We’re not ashamed to brag about the oceans of talent oozing from our members so we are taking out our SHINDIG boots and wiping off the dust in preparation for another night of acts more varied than a Benetton ad.

As always the SHINDIG is a showcase night, where fully monthly paid up members (thats only 25 euros a month by the way) have the opportunity to perform, write or direct a short pieces of their choosing (up to 15 minutes in length) in front of an audience. The date is Saturday December 18th at 7:30pm in the Teachers Club!

Invite your friend, family, foe or feline and wow them with your talents onstage. This will be follwed by our Chrimbo party where we once again pat each other on the back and say how great we are, just in time for Santy.

We were treated to a surprise visit by Sir. Terry Pratchett himself just a few hours before we took to the stage for a sold out opening night at the Teachers’ Club, Parnell Sq., Dublin last Wednesday, November 3rd.

Sir Pratchett, having recently joined staff at Trinity College as an adjunct professor of English, was visiting Dublin and noticed the amateur production was coincidentally running this week. He requested a visit early last week which was kept secret from the cast until just before opening night!

Taking the time to meet each of the cast and crew members he joked about the various actors in the past who had played the roles of the characters he had created in his multi-million selling Discworld® novel series. I think we can say that everyone was suitable amazed by this gentleman and it will be a moment that many of us in No Drama Theatre will cherish!
