WEDNESDAY NIGHT EVENT
THIS HOUSE BELIEVES HAVING A BOYFRIEND IS EMBARRASSING (DU Players X The Hist)
Wednesday February 11th
GMB
Couldn’t get a reservation for Valetine’s Day? No problem! Take your avoidantly attached situationship to Hist Chamber instead for an early Valetine’s date. Just kidding, you’re in a debating society, there’s no way you were planning anything for Valentine’s day anyway. But maybe being an undateable loser is a good thing? Boyfriends can be lame, boring and, let’s be honest, kind of embarrassing. This week the Hist and DU Players are teaming up to debate whether you should save yourself the trouble and forget about this whole boyfriend thing. Afters are in the Players Theatre where you are guaranteed to meet the love of your life
Join us Wednesday at 19:30 for this debate. Your gmb crush will be there we promise!!!

FRINGE HEADLINER
DO YOU FEEL ANGER? (LEMONS 2026)
Monday February 9th - Friday February 13th
5:00 P.M. (Wed. / Fri.) // 7:00 P.M. (Mon. / Tue. / Thur.) - Players Theatre
If you are receiving this message, you have been invited to attend a series of empathy workshops next week. There will be no consequences for failure to show, but we'll all be a little disappointed in you.
•
"Do You Feel Anger" by Mara Nelson-Greenberg, directed by Robin Giosu, is a dark comedy satire following an empathy coach's attempts to solve toxic workplace culture. Will Sofia succeed? Will she be eaten alive? Why is there a bird here? And what the hell is going on in the office bathroom, actually?

OTHER COOL STUFF
HILARY 2 SUBMISSIONS!
Workshops Friday 13th 15:00 / Tuesday 17th 14:00 / Friday 20th 16:00
Closes February 23rd
HILARY II SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW OPEN!!! Closing on February 23rd, you have two weeks to gather your crews so check out the crew roster, and get everyone filling in those paragraphs! Make sure to come chat with me before submitting at my submission workshops (Fri 13th @3pm, Tue 17th @2pm, Fri 20th @4pm) or shoot me an email. Big reminder that considering this year DU Players is hosting the Irish Student Drama Awards (ISDAs) that means that there will be very limited access to the building prior to the Hilary II show weeks. Some other rehearsal space options will be available to you but access to the theatre will be heavily limited. We apologise for this huge inconvenience but it is the best that we could offer for this term of shows. Good luck and enjoy submissions season!!!
