GOB funds will help in the transformation of this local icon, built in 1926, into a 21st century theatrical venue. The plan to return great regional theater to Coconut Grove must address the structural deterioration of the building, and provide a venue capable of serving as the home for GableStage, the planned successor theater company for the Playhouse.

Miami-Dade County Files a Court Appeal
Miami-Dade County filed a brief on May 10, 2023 with the Circuit Court regarding the Coconut Grove Playhouse. This appeal provides an account of the unfair treatment that the City of Miami’s Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board (PZAB) demonstrated at their March 15, 2023 meeting in voting to uphold an appeal of the County’s demolition waiver. It also details the reasons that the Court should overturn the PZAB’s unsupported and erroneous decision.
