Interior demolition at the historic Coconut Grove Playhouse halted due to a contractor's error that caused a partial collapse, compromising its roof. The contractor's removal of a load-bearing wall rendered the structure unstable and raised fears of potential collapse. Emergency measures will stabilize the building over eight days, but the future of repairs remains unclear. The theater, closed for 19 years due to financial issues, is part of a controversial renovation project, facing opposition from preservationists against the proposed demolition of parts of the building.
