Miami’s Tower Theater could be given to Bay of Pigs vets for museum, housing
Posted by Admin on Sep 21, 2022 | 0 commentsMiami City Commissioner Joe Carollo wants to turn over the operation of the historic and iconic Tower Theatre — South Florida’s highest-grossing art-house cinema and home of the Miami Film Festival — to the Bay of Pigs Veterans Association.
The non-profit — which has a museum and library in a house nearby dedicated to the April 17, 1961 invasion of Cuba by the 2506 Brigade — could also enter into a lease with the city to develop a museum and affordable housing in the theatre’s parking lot.
