ADC Theatre

Park Street, Cambridge

The ADC Theatre is one of the smallest departments of the University of Cambridge, and is the oldest University playhouse in the country. Plays have been presented on the site since 1855. The ADC Theatre is the centre of University drama in Cambridge, led 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, Rachel Weisz and Emma Thompson.

There are several student companies resident to the ADC Theatre including Cambridge University Amateur Dramatic Club, the Cambridge Footlights, Cambridge University Musical Theatre Society and the Fletcher Players.

              Footlights Presents: A Work of Fiction- we are looking for actors/writers!!

              A Work of Fiction is a sketch show aiming to parody and make light of different works of fiction- from ancient epics and fairy tales, to Shakespeare and Kafka (or any other book/play/poem imaginable)! Have you ever read a book and thought that the ending should be changed? That the characters' personalities could use some TLC or that it’d be much more funny if the book had an entirely different message? Then come and be in this absurd, witty and well-read sketch show. It’s gonna be a real page turner, an Odyssey if you will, of an ADC late show!

                Contact fgb23@cam.ac.uk and eb2024@cam.ac.uk before 29th Nov 2025 15:00 for more details.
