The Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse

Being a part of the performing arts in your community can be a wonderful and life changing experience. Regardless of your level of training and experience in the arts, we welcome you to join us for auditions at our historic theatre. We will train you to be “performance ready” for any show that you may be cast in. Our volunteer performers consist of people in our community from all walks of life... teachers, students, doctors, and military! Whatever your profession, if you have ever dreamed of performing onstage, we encourage you to audition for YOUR chance to perform in, what audiences have declared, “Broadway on Brevard”! 

In addition to our standard auditions live at the Playhouse, we are offering you the opportunity to audition virtually by submitting a video recording via email (see below).
