    ISSUE ONE ISSUE PARK GROVE 4 5 WORDS Dr. Paul George, Ph.D. little more than a century ago, Greater Miami was a vast wilderness with small clusters of hardy settlers living along the shores of Biscayne Bay. One of those communities was Coconut Grove, which, since the late nineteenth century, has enjoyed a reputation as south Florida’s A most attractive, dynamic and independent-minded community. Its natural setting is unrivaled, for Coconut Grove looks out from behind lush subtropical foliage toward the turquoise waters of the Bay. The province of Tequesta Indians until recent centuries, Coconut Grove was, by the early nineteenth century, a favorite stop for mariners attracted to the bubbling fresh water springs on its waterfront. After the Cape Florida Lighthouse opened in 1825, light keepers and their assistants became frequent visitors to Coconut Grove. Wreckers or salvagers of disabled ships also visited the area. By the middle decades of the nineteenth century, It was Munroe who suggested to his British friends Coconut Grove’s first known permanent residents, that they open a guest house in the area for its Edmund (“Ned”) and Ann Beasley, lived along its ever-growing number of visitors. The Peacocks bay front in the area around today’s Barnacle State opened the Bay View Inn, a simple wood frame Park. When Ned died, Ann rented a portion of their structure, in 1882 in today’s Peacock Park. It was property to Dr. Horace Porter, a onetime Union the first “hotel” in the area.

    10/18/2014 Multi-Print Viewer LOCAL ACTORS SET THE STAGE FOR A YEAR TO REMEMBER Miami Herald, The (FL) ­ Sunday, December 26, 2004 Author: CHRISTINE DOLEN, [email protected] Great acting goes a long way toward seducing you into the world of a play or musical. Stronger and deeper than ever, South Florida's acting pool did some masterful wooing in 2004, and that seductive artistry is what we celebrate most at the end of this year in theater. David Kwiat, who won the Carbonell Award for his tour de force portrayal of quirky physicist Richard Feynman in QED at GableStage in June, was also chillingly memorable in March in Blind Date, Mario Diament's delicious puzzle of a play at New Theatre. Graced with terrific performances by everyone in the cast ­ Lisa Morgan as a shrink with an increasingly crazy husband, Ursula Freundlich as a carelessly free­spirited young woman, Barbara Sloan as a woman fixated on a love that might have been, Steve Gladstone as a blind author modeled on Jorge Luis Borges ­ Blind Date was the world premiere of the year here. Morgan gave another wondrous performance, both warm and intense, as the mother of a murdered child in GableStage's October production of Bryony Lavery's devastating Frozen. And as the killer, Gordon McConnell was fiercely, powerfully, memorably disturbing. Three younger actors also did some of the year's best work. Back from a lengthy stint in New York, Todd Allen Durkin reclaimed his status as one South Florida's most intense, incendiary actors in both the world premiere of Paul Tei's Artful Dodgers at Mad Cat in October­November and GableStage's current production of Bug, Tracy Letts' meditation on paranoia and violence.
