Credited as the first Off-Off-Broadway theatre, Caffe Cino began in 1958 as a Greenwich Village coffee house with a tiny makeshift stage. This Bohemian refuge was home to burgeoning gay playwrights and performers, who, inspired by its owner, Joe Cino, were liberated to create their most experimental and daring works of self-expression.

What this segment glosses over is the influence of Andy Milligan who brought works to the Cino that were of a gay influence that got the ball rolling.

This was beautiful. I have Been lucky to have directed PLAY by PLAY, by Mr Robert Patrick, and acted in some of Landford Wilsons pieces. Thank GOD For Caffe Cino. I wish I would have been older in the 60's to have benefited from the theater in person!!!
