Less than four months after this telephone interview, Dr. Urbinati visited The Sixth Floor Museum in person and recorded a follow-up video oral history. As discussed in this initial interview, Dr. Urbinati expressed interest in staging a reading of his play, Mama's Boy, at The Sixth Floor Museum. Plans for such a performance were in development when the COVID-19 pandemic prompted a six-month closure of the Museum. Instead of an onsite reading, a special virtual program of scenes and monologues from the play, conceived and directed by Dr. Urbinati, was presented by The Sixth Floor Museum on January 14, 2021.
