Photos from the musical Jesus Christ Superstar
at the Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse

----- ----- -----

These photos are from the musical production of "Jesus Christ Superstar" at the Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse during March and April of 2013. It was my eighth show at the Playhouse and it was a wonderful experience! I would most definitely do it again (if I could commit the time). If you have some photos of this production that you would like me to put on this website, just email me!

I know Facebook is a wildly popular way to share photos, but not everyone I know is on Facebook. Plus I own this leucht.com website and like to maintain full control of the content that I post. The downside is that I don't have tagging or commenting capabilities here. If you really really want to tag yourself in a photo that I took, feel free to snag my photo from here and upload it to your own Facebook album. If you really really want to comment on a photo that I took, go ahead and email me the comment and I'll be happy to post it next to the photo and give you credit for the post.
