 | | Al Carmines, the founder of Judson Poets' Theatre and composer of Off-Broadway musicals, who died in Aug. 11, will be remembered Nov. 6 at 5 PM at the Union Theological Seminary, James Chapel, at 121st Street and Broadway. |
 | | Carmines, who as assistant rector of Greenwich Village's Judson Memorial Theatre, helped create the experimental crucible that was the Judson's Poets' Theatre, and thus became one of the seminal forces of the Off-Off Broadway movement. |
 | | Carmines had a soft spot for Stein; he wrote several musicals based on the writer's work, including In Circles, which set the non-linear prose of Stein to ragtime, tango, waltz, opera, barbershop quartet, jazz and other musical styles. |
