The Peabody Auditorium, located in Daytona Beach, celebrates its 65th anniversary beginning with the 2013-2014 performance season.<\/p>\n

The season opened to a performance from famous comedian Ron \u201cTater Salad\u201d White. Following White\u2019s show, a theater troupe performed their rendition of the children\u2019s story \u201cThe Very Hungry Caterpillar.\u201d Throughout the season, with dates still to be announced, musicals \u201c50 Shades!\u201d and \u201cHello Dolly\u201d will make their way onto the Peabody stage. Kicking off the January, Gregg Allman and his accompanying band performed a homecoming show to a local crowd.<\/p>\n

The Peabody Auditorium originally was built in 1907 after Simon Peabody moved from Indiana to spend his winters in the sunshine state. Peabody became thoroughly interested in the local arts and entertainment scene and decided to put his woodworking talents to use by constructing a large theater accessible to locals. A few years down the road, land was purchased on Auditorium Boulevard. Peabody and his construction crew purchased land for $25,000 in order to pay for construction and other fees.<\/p>\n

The original theater was lost to fire\u00a0in 1946, but several years later enough funds were raised in order to erect another building. The Peabody Auditorium has since become a center for culture for the local area by having various musicians,\u00a0actors and theater groups perform countless shows. Local student Charles Strickhauser has lived in the Daytona area for 24 years and has visited the auditorium on many occasions. \u201cIt\u2019s exciting to see the Peabody\u00a0celebrate 65 years of culture and events for my family and I to attend over the years. I\u2019ve seen performers ranging from local and international musicians to Jerry Seinfeld\u201d, says Strickhauser.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
