🌟 FINAL CURTAIN CALL 🌟 Today we close the final chapter of "Jesus Christ Superstar"—and what a run it’s been. To our incredible cast and crew: thank you for your heart, your dedication, and the talent you brought to the stage night after night. And to you, our patrons: thank you for showing up, for supporting the arts, and for making this production the success that it was. A special thank-you to our directors, John Dudley and Megan Abbott, for pouring their hearts into every moment of this show. They led with vision, care, and integrity—rising to the occasion to deliver a truly solid and moving version of a musical that is beloved by so many. Closing a show is always bittersweet, but this one will stay with us long after that final bow. It’s a production that everyone involved should be proud of—and we will carry it with us in memory for years to come. ❤️ Thank you, from all of us at The Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse. #JesusChristSuperstar #FinalShow #Gratitude (fb)

🎸 The Power and the Glory—But Not the Kind You Think 🎸 Chad Smith is no stranger to transformation. From the wildly funny Max Bennett in "The Play That Goes Wrong," to the heartwarming Grandpa Joe in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," Chad now channels high-octane energy and powerful rock vocals into the role of Simon Zealotes in "Jesus Christ Superstar." His featured number arrives at a crucial turning point—when Jesus’ followers, swept up in passion, begin projecting their own expectations onto him. It’s an ecstatic, electric moment that Chad delivers with full force, just before Jesus gently reminds them: his mission is not one of war, but of peace. Chad also serves as the understudy for Jesus, ready to step in at a moment’s notice. A true artist and team player, his dedication both onstage and off makes him an invaluable part of this production and our theatre family. 🎭 Our cast returns TONIGHT for the FINAL WEEKEND!
