What’s Happening with the Coconut Grove Playhouse?

If you have lived in Miami long enough, then you have heard about the ups and downs of the Coconut Grove Playhouse. Originally built as a movie theater in 1927, the building was converted to a live theater during the 1950’s. Over the years it has hosted far-ranging acts anywhere from the US premier of Waiting for Godot to stars like Liza Minnelli and even The Late Show with David Letterman! However, it closed unceremoniously in 2006 and was taken over by Miami-Dade County in 2014. Since the closure there has always been speculation as to whether the building will re-open (and as what) or be torn down to make space for something new in downtown Coconut Grove.

Since 2015 Miami-Dade County has been trying to figure out what to do with its historic theater, and just last week there was another vote to revive the Playhouse. It did not pass. According to the County’s website, they will appeal the decision, but it just makes you wonder if anything will ever be resolved with the Coconut Grove Playhouse. As someone who grew up in Coconut Grove, I would love to see the return of the Playhouse. Whether you are for its revitalization or not, aren’t you just ready for a resolution?!
