State letter demands title transfer of Playhouse

Here you will find a letter that is going out today regarding the Coconut Grove Playhouse. It is in response to the legislation that State Rep. Carlos Lopez-Cantera sponsored and passed this past legislative session.

Bob Ballard, Deputy Secretary of Land and Recreation for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, is asking the current Playhouse Board to formally transfer the Playhouse title to Miami-Dade County.


This is the first step in the long process of reclaiming the Playhouse for Coconut Grove that we outlined here recently.

One extra update on the previous story: Shelly Spivak, who heads the current board, says that she was never asked to come and speak to anyone about the playhouse in the last few years. She says she was never asked and she never declined to meet.

So, let's hope she signs over the papers to the County real fast and the next process can proceed.
