Coconut Grove Playhouse had a 50-year run. See all its stars in new digital archive

Mittelman is photographed at his Miami home among Playhouse memorabilia on Thursday, Aug. 20, 2026, in Miami.

Arnold Mittelman, the longtime director of the Coconut Grove Playhouse, which closed in 2006, received a grant from the Knight Foundation to create a digital archive chronicling the theater's history.

The archive features each production staged at the playhouse from its opening in 1956 to its closure in 2006.
