Discover the Magic of Titusville Playhouse


   If you've never visited the Titusville Playhouse in Florida, you're truly missing out on a gem hidden in plain sight in downtown Titusville. Imagine stepping into a building steeped in history, originally constructed in 1905. This place wasn't just any building—it was a silent movie theater, a concept that seems almost otherworldly in today's digital age. One can only imagine the enchantment of watching flickering images in complete silence, the audience captivated by the story unfolding before their eyes. Truly, it must have been a sight to behold.


   But the evolution of this historic site didn't stop there. Over the years, the building transformed from a silent movie theater to a hotel, then to a saloon, among other things. It's a place that has worn many hats, adapting and changing with the times. However, a significant transformation occurred on August 29, 1965, when a group of visionaries saw its potential and purchased the building. From that day forward, it became known as the Emma Parish Theater and eventually evolved into what we now celebrate as the Titusville Playhouse.


History Continues

   Today, the Titusville Playhouse isn't just a local theater; it's a cultural powerhouse that draws talent from across the nation. The plays and performances here are nothing short of spectacular, with actors coming from New York and various parts of the country just to entertain and inspire us. It’s a testament to the quality and allure of the productions that grace this stage. For anyone who hasn't experienced the magic of this playhouse, take it from those who have: there is hardly a better theater to be found anywhere in the vicinity.

But that's not all—Titusville Playhouse is on the brink of an exciting new chapter. Amidst a vibrant capital campaign, plans are underway to break ground on a new 500-seat theater. This isn't just any theater; it promises to be a state-of-the-art facility, a place that will further enhance the arts and culture scene in Titusville and provide even more opportunities for top-notch theatrical productions.


   This is where you come in. As the playhouse embarks on this ambitious project, support from the community and theater lovers everywhere is crucial. Consider contributing to the capital campaign, helping to turn this dream into a reality. And while you're at it, make sure to grab some tickets for this season's shows. It's an opportunity to not only enjoy phenomenal performances but also to be part of the legacy of the Titusville Playhouse.
