Pedro Costa is a Brazilian-American musical theatre performer, producer and director from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, now based in Boca Raton, Florida. While still a student he founded Our Time Productions, an independent theatre company whose first show, the musical cabaret The Road Ahead, sold out both of its performances in June 2026. He is a student at the University of Florida, in the class of 2029.[1][2]
Early life and training
Costa's hometown is Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[3] He moved to Boca Raton, Florida, and graduated from Boca Raton Community High School in 2025.[4] In May 2024, at the end of his junior year, he rehearsed and performed in the opening number of the Dream Awards, Palm Beach County's high school musical theatre awards, on the main stage of the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach. That week he also received the "Blood, Sweat and Tears" scholarship. He called it "one of the most memorable weeks of my life".[5]
He credits three teachers for his training: "Thank you to Jackie, Jason, and Mrs. Nixdorf for all your years of training, I could not have done any of this without the three of you as my mentors."[5]
Our Time Productions
Costa founded Our Time Productions in 2026 "to bring together a group of artists aspiring to achieve something beyond what they've done before, with the courage to try new things and with the passion to achieve their goals."[6] He raised money for its first show through a crowdfunding campaign, then produced and directed it: The Road Ahead, a cabaret of musical theatre songs, at Barclay Performing Arts in Boca Raton on June 26 and 27, 2026. Both performances sold out. Afterwards he thanked "all of you who have supported me in this journey and made my dream of producing and directing come to life."[2]
University
Costa began studying at the University of Florida in Gainesville on August 31, 2025, in the class of 2029.[1][4]
