1962 - The Spanish Trail Playhouse opened its curtains for the first time with “Southern Exposure”. The idea for the Spanish Trail Playhouse started when four locals had a dream of bringing live theatre into the little town of Chipley Florida. In the fall 1968, after 7 seasons, the theater closed its curtains for the last time. In August of 2006, a campaign was started to revive the defunct Playhouse. Less than three years later, after fundraisers and renovations, the Spanish Trail Playhouse reopened in its new permanent home, the Historic Chipley High School Auditorium
