Summary

1. Playwright Robert Patrick narrates a slide show devoted to his life and career, with particular emphasis on his work at Caffe Cino in New York's Greenwich Village from the late 1950s through the 1960s, when the Off Off-Broadway movement was born. He reminisces about the venue's founder and artistic director, Joe Cino, other players on the scene such as Lanford Wilson and Sam Shepard, and about his friend and colleague Ellen Stewart, who founded her own La Mama Experimental Theatre Club during this period. Patrick also discusses the genesis of his play Kennedy's children, which received a Broadway production in 1975, and his work with various gay-oriented theater companies in California.
