In Paul Brogan's latest publication, he presents the history of Concord, NH's fascination with the silver screen.
"From the first flickering movie images shown in Concord, New Hampshire in 1896, film represented something very special to the citizens of the city by the Merrimack River. This story is about more than the Concord Theatre, which for 61 years occupied a special place in the community. It's a story of how the movies drove the economy and brought people together. It is a story about the independent theaters like the Concord Theatre and Cinema 93 as well as the chain theaters, the multiplexes, the drive-ins and the neighborhood theaters. It's a story of people and their courage, humor and a rich and inspiring history."-- Gibson's Bookstore blurbPaul E. Brogan is the author of the number one bestselling book, Was That a Name I Dropped? He has been the recipient of numerous awards, including a 2014 award for his writing from the New Hampshire Press Association. A native of Concord and graduate of Bishop Brady High School, Paul's association with the Concord Theatre began in 1967. It continued until the theater closed in 1994.
