The historic structure was
donated to the City of Miami by the Coleman family in 1989.
Restoration and renovation of the theatre has become a "labor of
love" in the community. Efforts have included returning the "Mighty
Wurlitzer" pipe organ to its original home and restoring the
magnificent
chandelier.
Hundreds of volunteers have
given countless hours of labor, raised funds and promoted a
variety of events for all tastes and ages. They have formed a
non-profit organization for the ongoing project and have named
themselves the "Friends of the
Coleman".
