This Year's Rent...

I stumbled across this piece in today's Independent, singing the praises of the DCU troupe that are set to perform 'Rent' in The Olympia next month.

I have found myself taking on responsibility for the production's wardrobe once more. Darning needles at the ready...

If you haven't seen the show yet, you better pencil it into your diary now. Check out this here video of the show, from its initial run in The Helix, for a taster of what to expect:



Tickets for the bigger, better and even more AIDS-riddled production in The Olympia can be booked here.

Plugging, Baby

Here's the obligatory post about two events taking place over the next couple of weeks that I'm involved in:

DCU Drama are tackling Broadway Behemoth 'Rent' and putting it on in The Helix, DCU this week from Tuesday the 24th to Thursday the 26th.

Ambitious, right?

Well, I've attended a few rehearsals and, let me tell you, this is shaping up to be one hell of a show. The vocals in particular are mind-blowingly brilliant.

Yours truly has been organising costumes for the show. It suffices to say that, at this stage, I'm completely desensitised to the embarrassment of purchasing skimply pink dresses and PVC trousers.

Tickets can be booked here. Miss this at your peril.

The fourth annual DCU Fashion Show takes place on Wednesday the 1st of April in The Mahony Hall, The Helix, DCU.

This year's theme is 'Cirque Du Couture' and the event will be hosted by MTV's Laura Whitmore who, rather fittingly, was a model in the first ever DCU Fashion Show back in 2006.

The fact that last year's event was named Best Society Event in an Irish College or Uiversity says more about the calibre of this show than I ever could.

Tickets can be booked here. Go on. You never know who you might see striking a pose on the catwalk...
