We're raising money to go
towards the cost of going to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival! This will allow us
to showcase the student writing from the University of York's Drama Society as
the two shows we are taking are written, directed and performed by students!
OUR STORY
-
DramaSoc is 50 years old
and has a proud alumni. We are one of the most active drama societies in
the country and we put on just under 50 productions a year. We host weekly
Open Drama Nights where new writing is showcased, and the shows we are
taking to the Edinburgh Fringe are products of these nights.
-
We're performing with
The Space Venues at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival .
-
One of our plays,
Bad
Dog
, written by Ashley Milne, is a psychological horror, which
explores sisterhood and love in a climate of trauma.
-
Our other show,
One Giant Leap for June
, written by
Rachel Flannagan, is about June's ambition of being an astronaut, yet her
reality is working in a chippy with others who just can't seem to find
what they want in life.
-
These plays are so amazing and we are so proud of them and we want to represent the University of York at the Edinburgh Fringe and get our name on the map!
WHERE WILL THE MONEY GO?
-
Travel (van hire & petrol): £200
- This will transport our set and costumes to Edinburgh
-
Production costs: £260
– This will allow
us to purchase the set, costumes and props for our shows.
-
Printing
costs: £300
- This will get each show 10,000 Flyers and 250 A3 posters to
hand out in Edinburgh.
-
Advertising
costs: £250
- This will allow us to film trailers, boost Facebook posts,
and do advertising stunts in Spaceman suits on the Royal Mile to attract
attention.
-
Preview
Costs: £ 100
- We are doing a preview at The Great
Yorkshire Fringe in July. To ensure we will get an audience we'll need to
print out specific posters. We will also be using some of the budget to
print off quotes and star ratings that we receive from reviewers to put on
our posters and flyers during the Fringe.
