"Silent Era" shows were often repeated. BOB DAHDAH first directed RON COLBY's Episode in 1962, and J.D. Salinger's At War with the Eskimos in 1960, but here's GARY HAYNES in 1963 revivals of both (with JOE DAVIES who directed the Episode revival). Photos courtesy Gary Haynes. RON COLBY adds in an e-mail, Mar. 25, 2009: “JOE DAVIES played the lead in my play "Episode," at the Cino, and then against my wishes took it over to the then-fledgling La Mama, because he couldn't get enough. “ READ "Episode" HERE.
Pre-existing plays continued to be done even after the Cino had become known for original works. Above: MARION GAINES, MARY BOYLAN, and GWEN VAN DAM in BOB DAHDAH's 1964 production of Hello from Bertha, by Tennessee Williams, the Cino's most frequent author (over 20 productions).
