Amateur Drama Council of Ireland
The Amateur Drama Council of Ireland (A.D.C.I) is the federation of amateur drama festivals for the whole of Ireland – North and South. A.D.C.I was founded in 1952 and has coordinated the running of preliminary drama festivals and All Ireland festivals ever since.
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.
