Amateur Drama Council of Ireland

Amateur Drama Council of Ireland
Welcome
Welcome to the website of the Amateur Drama Council of Ireland. The ADCI recently celebrated its 70th Anniversary having been founded in 1952.
The first meeting of the ADCI took place on 26th October 1952 when members of drama festivals from across Ireland met in Athlone to discuss plans for an All-Ireland Drama Festival as part of the 1953 An Tóstal celebrations.
Despite the many challenges it has faced over the years, the ADCI continues to be a thriving organisation in Ireland today, working to host drama festivals in communities across the country, featuring drama groups who travel from near and far to entertain audiences.
We look forward to many more years of success for the Amateur Drama Council of Ireland.

It's only one man's opinion after all! Can't imagine any performance any better than Bridge's production of: 'Things l Know To Be True'. Got a standing ovation at Portadown Drama Festival in March and swept the decks in the awards from an English adjudicator. Must only have been a hair's breadth between 1st and 2nd.
Congrats Dalkey Players
Huge congratulations to all the winners, especially my friends in Bridge Drama. A top 3 finish two years in a row, incredible achievement ❤️
