A
Coconut Grove Playhouse
This lovely state-owned theater, anchoring the Grove since 1956, gained fame via the American premiere of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot (which audiences and critics generally rejected out of hand as opaque and confusing). Although it was closed during research due to debt issues, it is set to reopen by the time you read this, and will hopefully continue to showcase some of Miami’s best theater.

Edge Theater
The Edge stays true to its name (and Design District locale) by putting on consistently contemporary, artfully imagined productions on a small stage that feels like a makeshift living room filled with props.

Café Nostalgia
Come here to drink sangria and watch old-school crooners get melodramatic on a vintage stage. Sure it’s cheesy, but that’s the point (look at the name of the place).
