The Silent Era – JOE CINO AND HIS FRIENDS » BillMitchellSmall

BILL MITCHELL (above in the Cino, 1960) produced, directed, and/or played in a revue called What? and a memorable pirated The Boy Friend (both possibly 1963), and says it was he who convinced Joe Cino to do full stagings of plays, not just readings.

JJoe's great friend and supporter CHARLES LUBIER may have posed for this pic the same day that he met teenaged Joe Cino. (This wonderful photo courtesy of Charles' lover BILL MITCHELL). Read CHARLES' memories of Joe's life and death, last two entries on this PAGE.
Aria da Capo and other 1960/1961 revivals were staged by GLENN DU BOSE, seen above in summer stock, 1961, with fellow early Cinoite KEITH CARSEY. (Show is Head and Shoulders, Kennebunkport Playhouse, libretto by Glenn's life-partner James Arntz).
