Theater Roots: Caffe Cino Pages

Playwright Robert Patrick has assembled a teriffic archive on the Caffe Cino, with 30 pages of photos of productions and personalities– including a page devoted to The Harris Family.

Other notables: Hair personalities Tom O’Horgan, Seth Allen, Walter Michael Harris; Bernadette Peters at the Cino in “Dames at Sea”, Bette Middler at La Mama in a play by Tom Eyen…

Worthwhile look for theater folks.
