Review - New York Theatre Trailblazer Joe Cino Honored With A Plaque
by Michael Dale
- Apr 3, 2008
That happy gentleman on the left is the legendary American playwright Robert Patrick, and what he has in his hands is a long-time dream of his; a plaque to commemorate the life of Joe Cino. Fifty years ago Joe Cino opened the doors to his Caffe Cino, now regarded as the birthplace of both the Off-Off Broadway movement and the American Gay Theatre movement, to playwrights willing to mount productions on his tiny 8' x 8' stage. Among those who walked in were Lanford Wilson, Tom Eyen, Doric Wilson, Sam Shepard, William Hoffman, John Guare, and, of course, Robert Patrick. Cino didn't even read the scripts. Most of the time he would ask the playwright his astrological sign and if he liked the answer an opening night was set. Musical theatre fans know the Cino as the place where Bernadette Peters starred in the original one-act version of Dames At Sea.

Jerome Robbins Exhibit Opens Today, 3/25 at NYPL!
by BWW News Desk
- Mar 25, 2008
Among the most celebrated choreographers of his time, Jerome Robbins belonged to New York. His work showcased the grit and the glory of the city through populist masterpieces such as West Side Story and On the Town, and moved fluidly between ballet and Broadway with technical artistry and vernacular energy. The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts presents the first major retrospective of the man and the city he loved: New York Story: Jerome Robbins and His World, which explores Robbins' work and the many overlapping New York worlds that met in it. The exhibition draws from the library's collections of Robbins' personal archives, and the vast majority of the materials on display have never been seen by the public.
