The ADC Theatre provides an opportunity for students and amateurs to experience and learn about theatre in a professional environment.

The impact of the ADC on British theatre is vast. Our alumni include Ian McKellen, Derek Jacobi, Simon Russell Beale, Emma Thompson, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Rachel Weisz, Toby Marlow and many more. Four of the five directors of the National Theatre started their careers with us: Peter Hall, Richard Eyre, Trevor Nunn and Nicholas Hytner.

The ADC Theatre currently receives no external funding and we are committed to keeping our ticket prices low and our bar affordable, so that both our student and adult audiences can experience and enjoy as much theatre as possible.

Many of our performers today could be the famous names of tomorrow. With your support we can ensure that they get the best theatrical training we can offer, with industry standard theatrical equipment, financial support for ambitious and innovative productions and an ongoing investment in our backstage facilities.

Alongside our existing ADC Friends membership, we are pleased to launch a whole new tier of our support programme: introducing ADC Fellows.
