The Amateur Dramatic Club has been the starting place of many well-known figures in the theatre industry both on and off stage. We have a fantastic list of past members – four of five directors of the National Theatre are CUADC alumni.
We try to keep our alumni up to date with our activity and to put current students in touch with people working in theatre.
If you are an alumnus of Cambridge theatre, then we would love you to join our mailing list here so that we can keep in touch.
