Hello lovelies,

I hope you're all having a good week! As some of you may know each year the Students' Union picks a charity to partner with to be our charity of the year and this year it is MS Ireland. So we have decided to hold a MUMS Charity Week from the 22nd to the 25th of February where all the funds will go to MS Ireland. 

All events for the week will cost €2 and all money raised will go to MS Ireland. Our first event of the week will be next Monday the 22nd of February at 8pm, and will be a fabulous, fun quiz on Zoom. 

Our second event will be a Zoom dance workshop on Tuesday, the 23rd of February at 8pm. This workshop will be with our super talented chair person, and co-choreographer of the 2021 Inters production, Emma Thornton. This workshop will feature dances from the two most voted for shows on our Instagram poles last week, Kinky Boots and Hairspray!

Our third event of the week will be on Wednesday the 24th of February at 8pm and this will be an open mic on Zoom, so bring your snacks, drinks and join us in singing out our favourite tunes in a good old fashioned open mic just like as if we were in the SU. 

The final event to bring our charity week to a close will be our Masked Singer Masquerade Ball on Thursday the 25th of February at 7pm. We want you all to dress up in whatever fancy gear you want, and event a mask to keep in tune with the masquerade theme. On the night we will have our MUMS Masked Singer competition featuring some of your fellow MUMS members, and we might even have a premier or two of things we've been working on to show you...;) So be sure to dust off your fancy gear, bring your snacks, drinks and your party mood!

We hope you will all join us in force to help raise funds for this amazing charity and have a good week while doing so. Further details about Zoom links and how to pay etc. will be sent out in an email next week, they will also be available on out MULife page and on our socials so keep your eyes peeled. 

I hope you have a great week and I can't wait to see you all next week!

And now, down to business. As many may have noticed this year we have had huge turnout at auditions where it has taken much longer than expected to get through everyone. That is why this year the production team have put everything together so all those auditioning can be completely prepared before going in!

We have a talented and experienced team ready to start auditions the first week back in second semester. The Production Team has put forward an in depth list of role requirements which can be found below, so please take a read and figure out what part suits you best.

This Wednesday come and visit us for a fun filled night of musical theater and drama tips as we collab with the fabulous drama soc! &pm sharp start so don't be last you won't want to miss out!

Our intervarsities entry for 2020 has been picked! DRUM ROLL PLEASE...... It's The Addams Family!

We are very excited to be back in intervarsities again this year, which will take place in Galway again this year for the second time in a row. The lovely Emma Thornton is your choreographer and the amazing Sarah Alley is your musical director and we are delighted to have them work on such a musical with us for intervarsities!

Auditions will be next week - stay tuned for rooms they will be going on in on the socials and on here and bring your dancing shoes!

Last Night we held our first open mic night - and the turn out was amazing! The talent within this society is spectacular and it showcases the spirit of musical theater and how this society can feel like a family. Many people got up to sing, and others just joined in with them which is just as amazing. We can't for the next open mic night to top this one!

This week our production team worked endlessly as we conducted our auditions for our Mini Musical showcase for the 19/20 academic year. After listening to over 105 auditions over the space of four days, the team had a very difficult decisions to make and discussions began on who would be cast as who and in what musical people would play a role in. Eventually, our production team made their decisions and our casts have been set for the Mini Musicals this year! Well done to everyone that auditioned and congratulations to those who received roles! 

On the 10th of October 2019, out very on Gavin Murphy conducted a welcome class to the society. In this event, Having introduced himself to old and new members, and had everyone moving from the get go with physical warm ups, a musical theatre people tend to do. Members took pat in brainteasers, improvisation and much more all while getting to know new people. Gavin's idea allowed members to introduce themselves to the society and got the ball rolling on our events for the year and allowing members to get to know each other in a fun and interesting way.
