Coconut
Grove Playhouse Miami
Location: 3500 Main Hwy, Coconut Grove
The Coconut Grove Playhouse was built as a glamorous movie
house in 1926 and today is home to two stages for live theater; the 1,100 seat proscenium
Mainstage Theater and the 135 seat cabaret style Encore Room. The building was built
in 1927 and the Playhouse in 1956. Dedicated to nurturing potential creativity and
serving South Florida’s diverse community, the Coconut Grove Playhouse Education
Department has carved an unconventional niche for itself through its distinctive
approach to community outreach. While many regional theaters interact with their
communities solely through acting classes, the Coconut Grove Playhouse is distinctive
in its fervent dedication to social service. For the Playhouse, theater is a tool,
an instrument that provokes young minds to reach for confidence and self-awareness
in a world that demands it.
