Coconut Grove Playhouse, Theatre in Coconut Grove, Miami, US

The Coconut Grove Playhouse is a closed theatre complex at 3500 Main Highway in Coconut Grove, Miami, originally built in 1927 as the Player's State Theater. Architect Richard Kiehnel of Kiehnel and Elliott designed the movie house for realtors Irving J. Thomas and Fin L. Pierce, with Albert Peacock as contractor. It later held a 1,700-seat proscenium Mainstage and a 100-seat Encore Room; a 2014 county plan would keep only the facade and demolish 85% of the historic building.

The building opened on January 1, 1927, as the Player's State Theater, a Paramount movie house designed by Richard Kiehnel of Kiehnel and Elliott. In the 1950s oilman George Engle spent over $1 million converting it into a live theatre; it reopened on January 3, 1956, with the US premiere of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, starring Bert Lahr and Tom Ewell. It closed in 2006 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.

The Playhouse hosted performers such as Ethel Merman, Liza Minnelli, Bea Arthur and Raúl Esparza. Its 1956 reopening featured the US premiere of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot with Bert Lahr and Tom Ewell. Neil Simon's The Sunshine Boys and Fame: The Musical premiered here before Broadway and the West End.

The theatre has been closed since 2006 and is not open to visitors. Miami-Dade County took over the building in 2014, and the approved plan calls for keeping only the facade while demolishing about 85% of the historic structure. The site sits on Main Highway in Coconut Grove.

The theatre was the second movie house on Florida's east coast to be air conditioned, and it held the largest Wurlitzer organ in the United States. On November 22, 1996, Late Show with David Letterman was broadcast from here, the last episode not to originate from New York.
