Today on DelmarvaLife –
The Mid South Audio Stage in Historic Studio D used to be filled with lots of local music. Ever since COVID-19, the stage has been music-free. Which means the talented Mid South Audio crew have also stopped working. Today, we talk with the Owner of Mid South Audio, Kevin Short, to discuss the impact of COVID-19 on the entertainment industry and how they plan to move forward in the future.
Over the years, we’ve learned about Benedictine – a program that supports the “differently-abled” and helps them succeed in all aspects of life.

We talk with Benedictine’s Executive Director, Scott Evans, to discuss some of those obstacles and how the program continues to stay on track.
