Adam Smith Theatre
Kirkcaldy
Home > On Tour > Where We Go
Located in Kirkcaldy's town centre, the Adam Smith Theatre is a popular venue in a traditional setting, well-loved for its high-quality shows, full-scale cinema and long history as the heart of the local arts scene.
Opened in 1899 as a memorial to social philosopher Adam Smith - now widely regarded as the father of modern economics - this stunning theatre has an impressive facade and overlooks the Memorial Gardens and another OnFife venue, Kirkcaldy Galleries.
Enjoy a fantastically diverse and popular programme of events at this 475-seat venue, including comedy, dance, drama, music, and children's theatre.
The Adam Smith boasts one of the best technical teams on the circuit, led by the redoubtable Andy Hotchkiss. Getting a show on and up for the 7:30 “ kick -off” is made so much easier by Andy and his team. If you add that into the wonderful range of work that Verdi Clark (Theatre Programmer) brings to the theatre and the great reception we always get from the local audience, a visit to the Adam Smith is a “must have”!
