Applying to the ADC Theatre

The ADC Theatre welcomes applications from University, local and professional drama groups wishing to use our facilities. Companies that currently use the theatre on a regular basis include the University's Amateur Dramatic Club and Musical Theatre Society, the Cambridge Footlights, the Combined Actors of Cambridge, The European Theatre Group and the Central School of Ballet.

The Theatre normally offers week long slots for performances at either 7.45pm or 11pm. Slots during Michaelmas and Lent Terms (see here for dates) are reserved for University drama groups; application procedure and deadlines for these slots are published in Varsity and TCS, the University newspapers. Applications for performances at other times - ie. between Easter and late July, in early October, late December or early January - are welcome from all groups up to a year in advance.

The Theatre charges hiring companies on a box office split system, with the Theatre taking 37% of gross ticket sales. A minimum charge also applies; please contact the Production Manager for further information.
