The American Drama Group
|
ADG was formed by Ohio native Grantly Marshall in 1978 in the city of Munich. It was linked in the beginning to the University where the first performances were held. It expanded quickly to other theatres in Munich and also began to give guest performances in other German cities. The expansion was continued to include many countries in Europe and Asia. The goal of the American Drama Group Europe as a foreign language organisation is to perform in as many counties in the world as possible.
