Biography

Magie Dominic, writer, poet, artist, actress, designer and activist, was one of the founding members of the Caffe Cino family and the Off-Off-Broadway movement.

Caffe Cino, a coffee house and theatre at 31 Cornelia Street in New York City's Greenwich Village, was at the center of the burgeoning Off-Off-Broadway movement. Founded by Joe Cino in 1958, the Cino staged hundreds of plays, poetry readings, and musical revues. It closed in 1968, a year after the death of Joe Cino.
