Give It Back Rally: A Big Group Hug For the Coconut Grove Playhouse

Please note that while the attendees at this event no doubt have the greatest love for the Playhouse's comeback, unbeknownst to them, the group's behind-the-scenes organizers, most notably City Commissioner Marc Sarnoff, have publicly stated their desire to tear down most of this historic building leaving only a token facade, part of the east wall, remaining. They want to develop the property with more of the overcommercialized overkill that has turned this once unique eccentric enclave into Coconut Grave. Their plans for the theatre are to reduce it to one-quarter of its original size, leaving it with a 300 seat theatre space. The rest will be condos and retail.
