Brevard Community College owned the theater from 1985 to 2010. In 2010 the college offered ownership to the city of Cocoa and renamed it the Cocoa Village Playhouse.

An established audience base of 4,000 season patrons support the Playhouse each year and performances often sell-out before the run of each production is finished.
