When the new town of Glenrothes was constructed, a number of small venues served the community for entertainment purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, despite frequent requests from the community, no plan for a larger-scale theatre or community hall made it past the planning stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the 1970s, calls from the community and District Council for an entertainment venue increased. In 1972, a working party was formed to investigate potential sites and designs for such a building; designs for a town centre complex were agreed upon, but financial constraints meant they were not followed through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1983, proposals were put forward for what would become Rothes Halls. Again, financial constraints delayed construction, but in 1993 the building was finally constructed, offering state-of-the-art facilities and some of the biggest, most flexible theatre spaces available in Fife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
