Coconut Grove Playhouse
The Coconut Grove Playhouse was a theatre in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami, Florida, United States. The building was originally constructed as a movie theater called the Player's State Theater. It opened on January 3, 1927, as a part of the Paramount chain. The movie house was designed by the architect Richard Kiehnel of Kiehnel and Elliott. It was built by local realtors Irving J. Thomas and Fin L. Pierce. Albert Peacock was the contractor.
The theater was renowned as the second movie theatre on the east coast of Florida to be air conditioned and having the largest Wurlitzer organ in the United States.〔Cohen 1987 p. 3〕 It was used for a variety of shows until closing in 2006. It has not been used since.

In the 1950s George Engle, an oilman, bought it and spent over $1 million in renovations having the architect Alfred Browning Parker convert it to a legitimate theatre.〔Cohen 1987 p. 4〕 It reopened on January 3, 1956 with the US premiere of Samuel Beckett’s ''Waiting for Godot'', starring Bert Lahr and Tom Ewell.
