On October 2, 2018, the Board of County Commissioners approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the County and the Miami Parking Authority (MPA). This is an important next step in realizing the plan for the Coconut Grove Playhouse project.
GableStage sent the update below to its suscribers to provide clarity on the project.
The architectural and engineering work on the Coconut Grove Playhouse is in its final stage. Bidding and construction are next. The County, FIU and GableStage are working to create a great home at the Playhouse for regional theater.
It is important to clarify the “drama” inspired by recent events and media coverage of the Playhouse.
On August 9th, the State of Florida Historical Commission voted to submit an application to the US Department of Interior to nominate the Coconut Grove Playhouse to the National Register of Historic Places. Once the nomination report is finalized by the State Division of Historical Resources, we will post it here. Upon submittal of the nomination by the State, the federal government has 90 days to either approve or deny the application.
