Craigie College of Education Theatre, Ayr

The theatre was used for lectures and college drama productions. It was host to Ayr and Craigie Film Society and a broad range of visiting companies.

Both Ayr Intimate Opera and the Compass Club mounted productions in the theatre during the 1970's and early 1980's.

The stage area has now been replaced by a sound studio isolated from the auditorium and the University of the West of Scotland has opened a dedicated drama studio at the rear of the former assembly hall.
