​ Stay connected with our
Big Theatre/Small Towns
podcast series

... check out the latest episodes!


​In this time of self-isolation and social distancing, the need for connection becomes a priority and we miss connecting with our audiences, artists and community. Big Theatre/Small Towns explores the connection of big theatre ideas growing in small towns and vice versa with hosts Graeme Powell and Amanda Jane Smith.

Amanda and Graeme will be chatting with guests from all walks of the theatre community, from near and far, on topics such as the resilience and magic of live theatre, playwriting for and in rural communities, the attraction and potential of regional theatre making, making the transition from local theatre to professional theatre training and career, and more. 

Listen to our "ridgecasts" free of charge but, if you are able, please consider making a donation to Theatre on the Ridge.
