Activist, poet, and memoirist MAGIE DOMINIC  inspired the character “Rona” in my play, Kennedy’s Children. When people scoff, “No one could have done all that Rona does,” I reply, “Oh, I left out her career in underground theatre.”  See author/artist MAGIE’s WEBPAGE. And buy her memoir, STREET ANGEL, here>> http://www.wlupress.wlu.ca/press/Catalog/dominic-street.shtml

Magie created a number of roles at the Caffe Cino, but may be best remembered for the title role in CHARLES STANLEY’s comic-book production of Snow White

Here she is between KENNY BURGESS (“The Little Forest Animals”) and BOB LAWLOR (“Prince Charming’), photo by CONRAD WARD.

She also played “Marguerite” in Faust, and “Veronica” in Archie and His Friends.

Magie’s love of JOE and the Cino made her a dedicated Cino “temple slave.” Here, she’s making stars for the Dames at Sea set with JOE CINO himself. (Photo: JAMES D. GOSSAGE)
