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.
Project Update (April 22, 2024)
Court Ruling Denying the Request for a Rehearing
On April 12, 2024, the Appellate Division of the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit denied the opposing counsel’s motion for a rehearing, leaving in place its ruling in favor of Miami-Dade County, granting the County’s appeal regarding the Coconut Grove Playhouse. To recap, Miami-Dade County filed a brief to overturn the City of Miami Planning and Zoning Appeals Board’s unsupported and erroneous decision to grant an appeal stopping the County’s approval of a waiver.
