ABINGDON Drama Club is now recruiting for its 2017 junior drama classes.

Claiming to be one of the oldest drama clubs in the country, ADC has been providing drama classes for young people for more than 30 years.

Drama teacher Andrea Mardon came on board in 2008 to teach one class which has now expanded into a thriving programme of three weekly drama classes for ages 11-18 and a performance club which puts on two shows a year.

The ADC juniors offers young actors from Abingdon and the surrounding area a chance to hone their acting skills in a fun environment while meeting other young people from a variety of local schools.

Classes include a combination of drama games, improvisation, devising scenes and writing original work.

In recent years the students have put on productions of Peter Pan, Dracula, The Birds, Laramie Project, 12 Angry People, Servant of Two Masters and The Good Doctor.

The next show, on January 15 and 16, will be the very creepy An Evening With Edgar Allen Poe.

The ADC juniors drama classes meet during term time and the cost is £80 for a 10-week course.

The timings for the upcoming term are as follows:

Juniors 1 (ages 11-13) Sundays from 2.30pm to 4pm

Juniors 2 (ages 14-15) Sundays from 4pm to 6pm

Juniors 3 (ages 16+) Fridays from 5.30pm to 7.30pm

Performance Club (available to all ages after 1 term of class) Sundays from 6pm to 7.30pm

LAMDA Club (all ages) Thursdays from 4pm to 7pm.
