A major win for Miami’s cultural community! The Coconut Grove Playhouse has a secure future finally!
According to The Real Deal:
“The 100-year-old Coconut Grove Playhouse is a step closer to revival with a scaled-down performance venue, retail, offices and a parking garage after it’s been closed for 20 years.
Miami city commissioners approved Miami-Dade County’s long-debated plan, granting five zoning exceptions and four waivers that clear the way to restore the playhouse’s 1926 façade and build a new 310-seat theater behind it centered around an open-air plaza with 2,600 square feet of retail space, 3,800 square feet of food-and-beverage space, 28,000 square feet of offices, 2,600 square feet of educational space and 289-space parking garage next door.”
