Announcement time!!
The Director of the next No Drama production has been selected.
The unbelievably talented Renée Van De Schoor will be stepping up to the directorial plate with Siobhan Hickey as Assistant Director.
Details on the play selected and audition information to follow in the coming weeks.
Get excited, people! It’s all go from here.
No Drama will hold its Annual General Meeting this Tuesday 12th of July in Synge Street CBS at 7pm.
This is a great opportunity for our members to have a say in how we go about the things we do, to find out what happens behind the scenes and also air any issues or ask the Committee any questions (eg. What’s with all the fancy crowns and sceptres?!?).
The AGM will be our last event before we take a break for the summer. Workshops will start up again in mid-August.
Also very importantly there will be NO WORKSHOP on that Tuesday!
The Shindig will take place on the 9th of July and here’s the low-down:
The Shindig is the No Drama bi-annual showcase night where several short plays are chosen, directed, acted, and many written by all you wonderfully talented people.
Registration Opening: NOW! (Go! Go! Go!)
Registration Closing: Sunday 29th May
To take part, the director of the piece must email shindig@nodramatheatre.com with the following:
The sad news is that due to the demand for spots in the Shindig, the above detail must be included in order to be considered. Depending upon demand for the places in the shindig not all pieces might be accepted.
It’s a great chance to try something new or different, or take on a different role, so here’s plenty of notice to start thinking about what you might like to do.
The T&C’s (That’s T&C, not G&T)
If you are interested in performing or directing but unsure how to get involved, please let yourself be known at a workshop or post a message on our facebook page for other members to see!
The committee will support you along the way; don’t be afraid to ask for help or advice!
The Shindig is not a variety show, performance pieces only please!
Hey y’all,
Our latest Ezine hit the internet earlier today.

Best check it out now.

Massive congratulations to the director Nikhil Dubey and cast of ‘Gooseberry’ – Dan McCormack, Declan Ryan and Paul McGrath – who placed first in the Ballina One Act Drama Festival. Special thanks to techie Keith Cooper & writer Hugh Cardiff!
Say what?
Directed by the lovely Nikhil Dubey, ‘Gooseberry’ after it’s storming performance at this year’s summer Shindig is being taken to stages around Ireland as part of the the One Act Circuit.
What’s the craic with it?
Three farmers in a small town, Ireland, are life-long mates and go to Bernie’s pub every Friday. But when two of them fall for each other, the third has to come to terms with what his future holds.
Deadly buzz! Where and when can I see it?
.. Or indeed, happy winter festival of your choice from all at No Drama HQ!
We’re finished up for the festive period, after a very successful Shindig and Theatre Lovett workshop (and of course our wonderful Chalk Garden!).
On January 6th We will return with the first of our new year regular workshops, New members welcome (as usual!)
As always questions, suggestions, requests, ideas, scripts, offers of help and cryptic comments should be directed to contact@nodramatheatre.com
We know you probably can’t go for such a long period without your No Drama fix, so here’s a little collection of No Drama videos you can dip into while eat your christmas pudding..
Workshops returned last week, great to have everyone back after the break. We announced a few things which we’re sharing here now.
– We’re looking for submissions for Director, Production Manager and Assistant Director for our November Production
– We’re introducing a few changes to the way workshops are run to ensure everyone gets the most out of them including split workshops and re-introducing specialised workshops.
– There’s now a submission form for your suggestions to no drama (there’s also a permanent link at the top of the site)
That’s it for now , more to come in the next E-zine welcome to No Drama (or welcome back as the case may be)and hope to see you all next week!
