PODCASTS

We are excited to announce the launch of Made-in-The-County our brand- new podcast series!

Produced by the Regent Theatre, this 50 minute monthly series is devised to share the cultural heritage of Prince Edward County. Each variety-show style episode features stories, live music and sound art created in or inspired by The County.

When it's safe to do so we will record episodes live at the Regent Theatre with an audience.

We encourage young people between the ages of 14 and 25 who want to get media, audio or producing experience to participate.

We will pair participating youth with mentors in their area of interest.

While we want to engage youth in the creation process, there’s no age limit for contributors! So, if you have a story, musical composition, poem, monologue or audio piece inspired by, made in or about your experience of the County we’d love to hear from you!

Got an idea? Want to participate? Please introduce yourself.

Episode FOUR: AFTER THE STORM

Our community shares tales of resilience. Together with host Megan Hutton we explore the triumphs big and small born out of adversity.

On February 27th we are hosting our first ever live-recorded episode. Featuring stories from After the Storm.

And we want to share your stories!

Here at the Regent when COVID shut us down, we were able to innovate and create this podcast! How about you? What’s your story? It could be personal, artistic or professional. Whatever you want to share. Have you created something, learned something, meet someone you never would have met before during a hard time? The only rule is that you have to live in or have been inspired by the County! Cause’ it’s in our name, we are all about sharing County stories.

Send your story to us at digitalmedia@theregenttheatre.org for the chance to participate LIVE on the Regent's stage February 27th.

Submission Deadline: February 21st.
