The Cocoa Village Playhouse

The Cocoa Village Playhouse was once the first “talkie” movie house showplace in the Indian River section of Florida, located in the heart of downtown Cocoa.

This enchanting old theater from the Roaring Twenties,  an era of flapper dresses and jazz music, opened its doors in 1924 as the Aladdin Theater.

It showcased silent movies and vaudeville acts and became the entertainment hub for the area.

The theater served as a station for the American Red Cross during wartime and later became the State Theater, featuring movies on “the big picture screen”.

In 1984 it was renamed the Cocoa Village Playhouse and today it continues to captivate audiences with a mix of Broadway style productions, concerts and community events.

The original marquee,  lovingly restored to its former glory,  shines brightly beckoning you to step inside.

When you enter the lobby the rich aroma of freshly popped buttered popcorn hits you in the face.

The incredibly ornate ceilings catch your eye, with vintage chandeliers dangling elegantly,  casting a soft golden glow over the room.

With only 600 plush red velvet seats, this venue gets some top notch performances that rival those of much larger size.

The playhouse boasts a talented roster of local actors, musicians and directors who pour their hearts into every show.

The theater is home to a dedicated team of volunteers who work tirelessly to ensure every production runs smoothly.

From costume designers to stage hands, those unsung heroes are the backbone of the playhouse.

Passion and dedication truly permeates this the stage and makes it a home for local theater aficionados.
