Originally built for the [[Stellenbosch University Drama Department|University of Stellenbosch Drama Department]] in 1966 at the behest of the then head of the department, Prof [[Fred Engelen]], the venue was named after the then incumbent rector of the University, Prof [[H.B. Thom]] in recognition of his support. In 2018 the theatre complex was revamped and enlarged,  and renamed the [[Adam Small Theatre Complex]], after the South African poet, playwright and academic, [[Adam Small]].

Revamped and enlarged in 2016-2017, reopened in 2018, the new multi-facility theatre centre was renamed after the South African poet, playwright and academic, [[Adam Small]]. The old name has however been retained on the historic ornamental front façade of the building, to acknowledge the history of the venue.
 
 
 
The new name was officially inaugurated on 23 November, 2018, with a performance of the musical tribute called ''[[Adam Small BeJazzed]]'', featuring [[Natalia de Rocha]] and members of the Cape Town based [[Applauz Arts Initiative]] and an extract from the production ''[[Cry, Our Beloved Country. Met/Sonder Apologie]]'' by drama students directed by [[Mareli Hattingh|Mareli Hattingh Pretorius]].
