About
Actors’ Playhouse Youth Theatre Programs are part of the Actors’ Playhouse youth programming, which includes an annual Theatre Conservatory, the Young Talent Big Dreams countywide youth talent contest, and the Musical Miracles Musical Theatre Youth Performance Troupe. Youth programming is described by the organization as tantamount to its mission, and it is produced by a non-profit, regional professional organization that also produces critically acclaimed dramatic and musical theatre.
• Schedule: Box Office hours Monday–Saturday noon–6:00 pm, and Sunday 10:00 am–6:00 pm; during theatre productions, the Box Office is open until 9:00 pm.
Actors’ Playhouse Youth Theatre Programs operate within an organization that was established in 1988 by founders Dr. Lawrence and Barbara Stein, initially located in a converted Kendall movie theatre for its first seven years. In the early 1990s, Actors’ Playhouse entered a partnership with the City of Coral Gables to renovate the historic Miracle Theatre, with renovation support from the State of Florida, Miami-Dade County, and corporate and private donors. The organization states that the renovation of the Miracle Theatre served as a catalyst to redevelop the downtown district of the City of Coral Gables, which now includes over 100 signature restaurants, retail, residential spaces, a museum, an art cinematheque, and 150 multinationals.
The organization’s mission is to enrich South Florida’s cultural vitality with classic and contemporary live theatre productions, to provide educational and outreach programs to multicultural audiences, to support Florida-based theatre professionals, to encourage new works for adults and children, and to maintain the historic identity of the Miracle Theatre. Actors’ Playhouse is identified as a Florida Presenting Cultural Organization and one of twelve major cultural institutions in Miami-Dade County, and it notes that it is celebrating 38 seasons. Its youth programming includes educational outreach to the community and is supported by a partnership model with the City of Coral Gables that the organization describes as a role model partnership.
Leadership for the organization includes Executive Producing Director Barbara S. Stein, Artistic Director David Arisco, and Children’s Theatre/Education Director Earl Maulding. Additional listed leadership and staff roles include General Manager/Communications (Brooke Noble), Development and Engagement Director (Jackie Zucker), Educational Advancement Director (Tyne Turner), Company Manager & Assistant to the Artistic Director (Lilly Paez), Audience Services House Manager (Natalia Amador), Bookkeeper (Ernest Porter), Technical Director/Production Manager (Carlos Correa), Resident Costume Designer (Ellis Tillman), Lighting Design (Eric Nelson), Master Electrician (Tony Diaz), Sound Design (Reidar Sorensen), Scenic Design (Brandon M. Netwon), and Property Master (Sam Sigler).
The organization notes that it offers various transportation options and convenient parking solutions, and that it partners with a wide range of hotels and restaurant partners. It also states that the theatre is fully accessible, with wheelchair seating, ramps, elevators, and accessible restrooms, and that the venue is available for rent by private, cultural, and corporate organizations.
