Fred Banzi operated the Brant Rock Theater when I summered in BR in 1950’s. We ran the Ocean Cottage and Danny Piazzo was the movie projectionist. I worked as an usher – friends were pinsetters in downstairs bowling alley until machines put in. We opened the back doors when it was hot since there was a breeze from the marsh and South River. I always got free Movie Passes so I was very popular. Mr Copp stayed at our place and was the ticker seller. Danny liked to stay up late on our front porch on the Esplanade and he hated the Thursday morning “kiddie show”. The great news was the Brant Rock Theater couldn’t hold a film for extra days even if it was a big hit – as an usher I didn’t want to see “Nun’s Story” 50 times.
