Below is the text that was on a plaque outside the Comedy Warehouse.[4]
- COMEDY WAREHOUSE
- Power Station
- 1912
- This building became a storage facility when Pleasure Island was electrified in 1928. Six years later the power station became home to the Pleasure Island Thespian Players, founded by and featuring Isabella Pleasure wife of Island founder and drama enthusiast Merriweather Pleasure. The players specialized in elaborate Central Florida Historical Pageants, including the seminal "Song of the Seminole". After Mrs. Pleasure's death in 1949, the building was closed and the players disbanded.
- Since its restoration by the Walt Disney Company, this site is again a warehouse, storing strange notions, again attractions and ideas slightly ahead of their time.
