Support us
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.
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.

There are no booking or transaction fees added to the price of your ticket. The price you see on the poster is what you pay online or in person at the Box Office.
When you book a ticket for any show at the ADC Theatre, you will be asked whether you would like to add on an optional donation. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic we are also introducing an optional coronavirus recovery levy of 10% of the value of your booking, which can be added to your basket when ordering tickets online should you wish to support us in this way.
