About the ADC Theatre
We are a department of the University of Cambridge, and are the oldest University playhouse in the country. The ADC Theatre is the centre of University and community theatre in Cambridge, run almost entirely by students with no Faculty involvement.
We aim to provide opportunities to experience and learn about all aspects of theatre, while presenting professional standard productions. The ADC Theatre has helped to launch the careers of many theatre luminaries, including Sir Ian McKellen, Stephen Fry and Emma Thompson, as well as the hit musical, SIX.
History
The ADC Theatre is Britain's oldest University playhouse. Plays have been presented on the site since 1855. Find out more about our wonderful history here.
