Established as the Aladdin Theater, the doors opened to the public on August 18th, 1924, showing silent movies. Later, Brevard’s first “talkie” movie house became known as “the showplace of the Indian River Section”. Several owners and several decades later, the building was purchased by the City of Cocoa and renamed The Cocoa Village Playhouse. In August of 1984, Brevard Community College District Board of Trustees acquired the building for $1 with the understanding that the college would take the responsibility of ownership and make the theatre operate in the best interest of the community. The Trustees immediately established a 501(c)(3) not for profit Direct Support Organization with its own Board of Directors who were given the responsibility of raising funds to make the Playhouse self-supporting. Through donations from individuals, organizations, corporations and grants from Foundations, as well as the State of Florida, the Playhouse was restored, made operational, and began producing community based musicals in 1989 featuring local volunteer performers.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Susie Wasdin, a cherished member of The Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse family and a longtime member of our Board of Directors. Susie’s passion, creativity, generosity, and commitment to the Playhouse helped shape our organization in countless ways over the years. Her impact on our theatre and on the community she loved will be remembered with great affection. “Susie Wasdin was a woman of style, flair, creativity and persistence. I have known her since we were teenagers in Cocoa Beach and those traits were evident even then. Susie loved the Cocoa Village Playhouse where she shared her talents and successfully led the Playhouse in many of its efforts to grow, expand and serve Brevard County. The Playhouse staff and Board of Directors is grateful to her and Tom for their many years of support. She is missed.” ~ Mary Lu Tombleson-Harvey, Chairperson The Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse Board of Directors Our thoughts are with Susie’s family, friends, and all those whose lives she touched. We are grateful for the many years she gave so generously to the Playhouse, and she will be deeply missed.

As we prepare for our upcoming production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” many of us at the Playhouse are reflecting on the special history this show holds at our theatre. We’re excited to welcome back many familiar faces who have been part of Joseph over the years, but this production will also be bittersweet, as it will be the first time we present the show without two of our dearly departed friends, Jason Carl Crase and Chris Waterman. So today, we invite you to take a stroll down memory lane with us to our 2016 production, with Jason as Joseph and Chris as Dan, one of Joseph’s brothers. Among the many memories from that production is one of our favorites: Chris appearing as Austin Powers during the “Go, Go, Go Joseph” number. These photos capture Jason, Chris, and so many wonderful performers who helped make that production and the ones before it so special. As Colin Kelly steps into the role of Joseph this season, we know Jason would have welcomed him with open arms and been proud to see him carry the torch forward. That’s one of the beautiful things about community theatre: the faces may change through the years, but the memories of those who came before us remain part of every production that follows. 📸 @goforth_photography
