 Having changed its name to '''[[Die Akademie vir Dramakuns]]''' in 1940, the activities were then gradually extended to Cape Town, and the nearby towns of Paarl and Wellington.
-During the 1940s the two founding members, joined by [[Milla Louw]], opened studios in Johannesburg and Pretoria, while [[Babs Laker]] took over the management of the Cape Town activities. The Paarl branch was run by [[ADK]] alumna [[Joey de Koker]]. Popularly known as the [[ADK]], the organisation filled an enormous need at the time, since there was no formal training available for performers for stage, radio and film, though the [[University of Stellenbosch]] did offer voice training and dramatic art as part of the [[Stellenbosch Conservatoire of Music]]'s syllabus at the time. (See the entry on the [[Stellenbosch Drama Department]]).

-The gradual appearance of drama departments in the Afrikaans language tertiary institutions in Stellenbosch, Pretoria, Potchefstroom and Bloemfontein between 1960 and 1975 reduced the ADK’s impact as prime provider of performers in Afrikaans, though its role as preparatory training institution and its effect on amateur theatre remained significant well into the 1980s.

 The passing and retirement of most of the major figures in the Organisation however eventually closed it down in the Western Cape in 1993, though still going strong in Gauteng. On 1 April 2001 the Western Cape branch was reopened by [[Elzeth Germishuys]] and [[Marinda Engelbrecht]] at the [[Welgemoed Art School]] at Welgemoed Primary School.
