MARIE-CLARE CHARBA is crowned in MEGAN TERRY’s Massachusetts Trust at Brandeis University, 1969.

JAMES WARING and DEBORAH LEE dance The Vamp, probably Judson Church?

JOSEPH PICHETTE in WILLIAM M. HOFFMAN’s XXXXX, The Old Reliable, 1970. Photo, Phil Cohen.

WALTER BURNS dances for HORTENSE ALDEN and BLANCHE DEE (and somewhere in the background Harvey Keitel) in PAUL FOSTER’S The Madonna of the Orchard, La Mama, 1965.

WILLIAM M. HOFFMAN himself in my The Haunted Host, Caffe Cino, 1964.

In New York in 1965, JOE CINO gets his cravat tidied by BLANCHE DEE for a benefit to re-open the Cino.

In 1973, the LA MAMA HOLLYWOOD TROUPE opens La Mama Hollywood with my How I Came to Be Here Tonight.

BILL HAISLIP and DENNY LEONE rehearse my The Golden Circle at The Spring Street Company, 1972.

MARILYN ROBERTS encounters RON LINK in BOB HEIDE’s Statue at La Mama in The BbAaNnGg!! Benefit, 1965.

ELOISE HARRIS hangs in, I believe, Holland in an “Angels of Light” show.

MICHAEL WARREN POWELL in LANFORD WILSON’s The Gingham Dog at New Dramatists.

MADELEINE LE ROUX, ELLEN GURIN, BOB SCHROCK, and friends in TOM EYEN’s The Dirtiest Show in Town, La Mama, 1970.

Unidentifed players as Orpheus and his bacchantes in my Orpheus and Amerika, Theatre for the New City, 1979.

Unidentified Actors and Play, 1961. In audience, however, “a” is JANET HESSLER, “b” BILL MITCHELL. Photo by Ben Martin.

VICTOR LIPARI as the rock singer in my Joyce Dynel, The Old Reliable, 1970.

THE OPEN THEATRE in JEAN-CLAUDE VAN ITALLIE’s The Serpent. I saw it at Joe Papp’s Public Theatre in, I suppose, 1968 or 1969, but I don’t know when or where this shot was taken. Visit Jean-Claude Van itallie’s picture-rich website HERE!

A very poor color shot of the same scene. I think the women’s face barely visible below the bald man’s head is Shami Chaikin.

Candy Darling as Marilyn Monroe in some commercial production of TOM EYEN’s “The White Whore and The Bit Player.”

Angel Jack and GEORGE HARRIS III (“Hibiscus”) in “Gossamer Wings,” Theater for the New City, 1972.

Walter Burns never acted at the Cino, but produced a play and a movie by JOSEF BUSH, both starrng BILL HAISLIP and ZITA LITVINAS.
