Before it ever was a theatre it was the site for a livery for wagons coming overland from the St. Johns River. The theatre today sits in Cocoa Historic Village which is many old shops, brick walkways, and historical buildings.  

There is a few ghost stories that are told throughout the theatres history. Rich our newest investigator asked one of the employees here and this person told us alot of strange noises are heard inside, things move around and it can get real strange at times. The theatre is said to be haunted by a ghost named Joe a former handyman. He can be heard opening and closing doors as well as his footsteps.

The city of Cocoa eventually purchased the Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse and it was entered into the National Register Of Historic Places in 1991.  The theatre has been known to be one of the most magnificent and largest theatres in the state of Florida.

Looking at the theatre you can see the three horizontal zones divided by belt courses, upper-story windows are more smaller then the elaborate ones below. There is a low pitched hipped roof which is ceramic tiled covered, arcaded window surrounds, small classical columns and medallions. It really is a work of art to the Cocoa community!
