Manchester collective Actors, Directors & Producers, is teaming up with the Oldham Coliseum main-stage in May to produce What The Dickens?.
Manchester ADP was formed a year ago by Diana Atkins, who moved from London and began seeking a group to join, as an actor, that met regularly to read scripts.
Now with over 1000 creatives on its books, Manchester ADP produces script-reading performances twice a month at The Kings Arms in Salford.
It has performed at The Lowry, staging a “Next Steps” event, gathered over £2500 in donations from the community, including Russell T Davis, and secured sponsorship from Casting Networks, who offer all Manchester ADP actors a six-month membership.
