The Regent Theatre has a stage as large as the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto, and is one of the largest in Eastern Ontario.

In 1918 the cost to see a film at the Regent was $0.25.

Silent films were the first type of films to be shown at the Regent, featuring stars such as Charlie Chaplin.

The theatre underwent major renovations in the early 1920’s, transforming the Regent into a 1,100 seat opera house, featuring Vaudeville stage shows.

The original dressing rooms are still intact and located below the stage.

The Regent is designated a historic building.
