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.

Director :
Preferred but not required: Experience in STEM or a professional workplace
I’m looking for a director who really understands the feelings discussed within Girl Torque, the fine line between the uncomfortable and funny, and the witty tone we’re trying to achieve, creating a relationship between the audience and the women coming face to face with discrimination.
Some of these women are confused, some are angry, all are sad! I want to create a certain amount of vulnerability with the audience masked with a layer of comedy where the women are trying to remain high spirited and ‘perky’.
I’m looking for a director who is:
Organised & good with time management.
Good at getting a group enthused.
Comedy focused but not neglecting the dark!
Above all, enthusiastic about the project!
In your application, tell me a bit about:
Your experience directing (especially Comedy).
Why you want to direct Girl Torque.
Any ideas for how you may direct the show.
