GableStage completed an updated business and transition plan for managing and programming the Coconut Grove Playhouse. This celebrated theater company is continuing its work to transition to GroveStage with the help of respected theater management experts AMS Planning & Research. GableStage’s transformation into GroveStage signifies its important new role of serving as our community’s regional theater at the Playhouse.

By an almost 2 to 1 margin, voters support the County’s plan to build a 300-seat theater to be operated and programmed by GableStage.
