“The hopes and dreams of our Playhouse Team could never have been achieved without each and every gift, whether it be time, talent or financial contributions. The summer renovation project was a true “team in action” project.

“A very special thank you to the City of Cocoa Council Members, Administrative and Staff. From my heart, I thank our Board of Directors who believe in our mission and support it in every way they possible can. To our team of designers and dedicated workers, I will be forever grateful for all you have given.

“The auditorium is truly now ‘World Class’ in it’s interior design. Our orchestra pit is finally large enough for our musicians to perform in comfort. The auditorium seats are custom designed and built just for our audience viewers to enjoy.”
