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.

Ballyshannon Drama Society is devastated by the passing this morning of Rachel O Connor.
Rachel was an inspiration to us all as our secretary, as a director and award winning actress. She was a driving force behind everything both on and off stage.
We extend our deepest sympathy to her husband Sean , her children Sophie, Lauren and Ross and her sisters and brother.Their loss is deepened by the passing yesterday of Sean’s father John.
Rest in peace Rachel ... See MoreSee Less

Rachel enhanced the life of anyone she shared time with. She filled a big space with her smile, her talent and her enthusiasm. Life will be forever more empty with her passing! Rest in peace!
That is such terrible news. Rachel was such a beautiful kind lady who was always welcoming to drama groups from wherever. Also had the privilege of doing a workshop with her. So sad.
Sean and I were so sorry to hear this news today. Rachel had an amazing talent. She was also a truly lovely person and we always enjoyed catching up with her when we met at drama events. We are sending sympathy to all of her family and her friends in drama. Rest in peace Rachel.
