  • ANNUAL REPORT of the UNIVERSITY Docx
    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE UNIVERSITY THEATRE SYNDICATE, 2008 – 9 This year, as well as being one of celebration for the University, was also a year of celebration for the ADC Theatre, as it reflected on the completion of many long-term objectives. October 2008 saw the completion of the redevelopment that had started in 2003 and the beginning of a new set of opportunities for the Theatre. The last phase of the building work included the rebuilding of the workshop and dressing rooms, and the creation of a rehearsal and performance studio (The Larkum Studio, named for former Sidney Sussex Bursar and Chairman of the ADC Theatre Executive Committee Charles Larkum). It also saw the installation of a platform lift which allows disabled access to the stage area for the first time in the theatre’s history. The changes were evidently popular with the theatre’s audience, with audience figures breaking the momentous 50,000 mark for the first time in the theatre’s history, as it welcomed 53,000 visitors over 353 performances. Programme Review The Autumn season once again opened with a production from the Cambridge University American Stage Tour: Henry V , which claimed an unprecedented six stars from Varsity. Also back from tour was the Edinburgh sell-out, Devils , written and performed by the Cambridge Footlights. The redeveloped building was re-opened to a selection of alumni and current students with a performance of an exciting new musical written by Cambridge students called Hero , which had also enjoyed a successful run at the Edinburgh Festival. The gala evening was attended by Sir Peter Hall (guest of honour) and Sir Trevor Nunn, and a number of volunteers involved in the building project were invited.
