New Theater in Jaco Beach!


Teatro Jacó, a new theatrical production company, based in Costa Rica, presented its opening show in the exciting beach town of Jacó. “Jamaica Farewell,” is an award-winning, one-woman autobiographical show written and performed by Jamaican Debra Ehrhardt. The show opened Jan. 27th in the rooftop bar at Jacó’s Canciones del Mar Hotel.

Daystar Properties in Jaco, is constructing a 150-seat theater in their Ocean Center cultural facility, and with this opening of that establishment, Teatro Jacó will be able to flourish.

Darren Lee Cole, the creator of the Jaco Theater Company, said future plans for Teatro Jacó include creating performing arts programs in local schools, as well as a community theater group. He said the group wants to build relationships in the artistic community and expand its audience by producing bilingual shows and performing on alternate nights or weekends. Cole is not yet certain of what Teatro Jacó’s next show will be, however he said he is hopeful it will be in English and Spanish.

  1. Thanks so much for sharing this. I have been searching for some Jaco beach rentals because we have always heard how nice it is there. I am helping my parents plan the trip and we all really can't wait to get down there.
