A versatile Adelaide performance venue
The Scott Theatre is one of Adelaide University’s most iconic performance venues and its largest lecture theatre.
Purpose built to support large scale speaking events, theatre, dance, and musical productions, the proscenium-arch stage has a capacity of 635 across two levels.
The Theatre has long been a cornerstone of Adelaide’s performance landscape, hosting everything from student cases to national touring companies and festival events. It’s blend of classical architectural presence and modern stage technology creates a professional yet welcoming atmosphere for audiences and performers alike.
Features
The theatre features a dedicated lighting rig, advanced audio-visual systems, multiple presentation screens, and full video-conferencing capabilities.
Capable of both creative and formal events, backstage amenities include two large dressing rooms as well as a green room with kitchen facilities.
Conditions of Use
A qualified theatre technician must be present at the venue for the duration of the hire period to ensure equipment is used correctly. The technician will quote and charge you separately.
The standard AV equipment must not be used for theatre events as it is calibrated for university lectures.
No food or drink except bottled water to be consumed in the theatre.
Smoke machines are permitted, however the event organiser must provide dates and times of use in advance so that appropriate action can be taken by the University e.g. smoke isolation.
