Regent Theatre

Regent Theatre is a performing arts building located at 224 Main Street in Picton with a stage comparable in size to Toronto's Royal Alexandra Theatre. The venue contains seating areas and facilities designed to accommodate both film screenings and live performances.

This theatre opened in 1918, designed by architects Warrington and Page for owners George and Ellen Cook who wanted to present vaudeville entertainment and film screenings. The building was created during a period when performing arts venues were expanding across North America.

This venue screens films and hosts live performances throughout the year, serving as a gathering place for entertainment in the region. Locals and visitors experience diverse shows that reflect the area's cultural interests and tastes.

The venue is easily accessible along Main Street, and visitors should allow time to find parking nearby. It helps to check the calendar of events in advance to plan your visit around your preferred performances.

The building retains its original Edwardian opera house design with early twentieth century theatrical craftsmanship still visible throughout the interior. This preservation allows visitors to experience theatre design traditions from that era in their authentic setting.
