In particular, we want to thank Carol Cohan, author of “Broadway by the Bay,” for permitting use of excerpts from that book.
Further, we thank those formerly involved with the Playhouse—staff, authors, directors–who provided information, materials, or permission to use their work. They include:
- Leonard Berkowitz
- Teo Castellanos
- Judith Delgado
- Christine Dolen
- David Ellenstein
- Deborah Eyerdam
- Steven Fales
- Howard Kerner
- Love Levy
- Arnold Mittelman
- Jeffrey B. Moss
- Luis Santeiro
- Mark Sylvester
- Annemarie Tristan
- David Vance
- Luke Yankee
We have included photographs found in the University of Miami’s Coconut Grove Playhouse collection– a collection of 933 boxes salvaged almost seven years after the Playhouse had closed. Many of these images did not indicate the name of the photographer, but it is likely that most were taken by one of the below-listed photographers, who were frequently hired by the Playhouse to document productions. Their photos enhance the understanding of the Playhouse’s history, and we gratefully acknowledge them.
- Luis Castaneda
- Harvey Bilt
- Henry Friedman
- Deborah Gray Mitchell
- Allen Maschlik
- Tom Elliott
Finally, we are grateful for the assistance of staff in these two Miami institutional archives in which the majority of the Archives’ materials were located:
- History Miami Research Center—Jeremy Salloum, Ashley Trujillo
- University of Miami Special Collections—Christine Favretto, Chelsea Jacks, Robin Nolasco, Therese Lantigua
