Return to the Caffe Cino was released at the Boston Conservatory's historic Off-Off Broadway Festival, November 8-12, 2006.

"This Ground Zero of the 1960s was a coffee-house, a theatre, a co-op brothel, a temple, a flophouse, a dope-ring, a launching-pad, an insane asylum, a safe-house, and a sleeper cell for an unnamed revolution...”

Robert Patrick, author of Kennedy's Children, from his Introductory Memoir

“We learned about olives and opera, grenadine and gender fuck. The food was an integral part of the wildly creative atmosphere. Having seen the Cino at age eleven, how could I go back to the Catholic Church?”

Walter Michael Harris, from his Introductory Memoir

 

Bernadette Peters and David Christmas in the world première of Dames at Sea, directed by Robert Dahdah, 1966

“The Caffe Cino was one of the first and most important venues in the Off-Off Broadway scene, launching the careers of major playwrights, actors and directors.”

Prof. Wendell Stone, author of Caffe Cino: The Birthplace of Off-Off-Broadway, from his Introductory Memoir
