Tucked away on Corbet Street in the heart of downtown Tarentum is a place where creativity, connection, and community come together under one roof: the Poduty Live Podcast Theater.
Originally designed as the nation’s first theater dedicated to live podcast recording, Poduty Live has quickly evolved into a multi-purpose space that serves as a hub for local voices and vibrant events. And now, owner Jeff Revilla is inviting the entire community to think outside the box—and behind the mic.
"We built this space for podcasters, but we realized it can be so much more," Revilla says. "It’s a platform for anyone who has something to say, celebrate, or share."
A Stage for Everyone
While the spotlight may have started on podcasting, Poduty Live’s versatile stage and professional equipment make it ideal for all types of local events. Here are just a few of the ways Tarentum residents can bring their ideas to life:
- Live Shows & Open Mics: Local musicians, poets, comedians, and storytellers can take center stage in a supportive, ticketed environment—with built-in livestreaming for remote audiences.
- Workshops & Seminars: From educational sessions to entrepreneurship talks, the theater provides AV support, seating, and staging for groups looking to learn or lead.
- Youth & Amateur Theater: With stage lighting and audio capabilities, Poduty Live can host one-act plays, improv nights, and school showcases.
- Private Parties & Celebrations: Birthday parties, fantasy football drafts, graduation celebrations, and retirement roasts all find a creative twist in a theatrical setting.
- Podcast Recordings: Aspiring podcasters can book time to record with professional gear, even if they’ve never touched a microphone before. Training and live audience options are available too.
- Live Stream Events: Fundraisers, panel discussions, and product launches can reach a global audience from this small-town stage.
- Trivia Nights & Game Shows: Revilla’s own trivia podcast inspired live game nights that are now open to the public—or can be booked for private groups.
Low-Cost Access, High-End Experience
With flexible rental options and tiered membership pricing—including free memberships that only require an email—Poduty Live makes professional-quality production accessible to everyone. And thanks to partnerships with local businesses, it’s not unusual to find collaborations with nearby cafés, restaurants, and artists.
“This isn’t just a theater,” Revilla says. “It’s a resource for the entire region. Whether you’re launching a podcast, hosting a class, or just want to gather your friends for something fun and different, we’re here to help make it happen.”
