Adapt Theatre Group started out in 2010 as part of the ADAPT association (Asociación de Angloparlantes de San Pedro del Pinatar - Association of English Speakers of San Pedro del Pinatar).

The aims have always been in line with those of ADAPT, namely the integration of the English speaking community in the town and from the start the work of the association was accessible to both English and Spanish speaking communities, helping to involve the local community as much as possible.

In 2011, ADAPT produced its first bilingual pantomime, Cinderella, and since then has gone on to perform a total of 10 pantomimes, involving a whole variety of well-known residents, people from further afield, and local places. Dance groups have been made up of students from English classes in local schools.

At the end of 2021, ADAPT association disbanded and the ADAPT Theatre Group was born as an independent entity. The main aim is to continue performing for the local community, to continue to work for integration and to give back what we can to the town, that has become home to the group

New members are always welcome, both actors and people who can help back-stage with props, scenery and costumes, so please get in touch if you are interested in joining in.

Pantomime rehearsals start mid- to late August and take place every Wednesday morning at 9.30am in San Pedro. There are also occasional Saturday morning rehearsals for some roles.

During the final week, in either late November or early December, rehearsals are almost every day, and there is a dress rehearsal culminating in 3 or 4 shows at the end of the week.

For more information and a chance to watch some of the pantomimes, please go to the ADAPT Theatre Group website.
