This started life as a single-screener for a time while Screen 2 was still under construction. Esquire Theatres of America opened the Plaza Cinema on April 12, 1968 with “The Graduate”, and was twinned several months later.

It has a total capacity of 700 seats, with 400 seats in Screen 1 and 300 seats in Screen 2. It was first managed by Stephen Hanson of Keene. Some original features of the theater include 9x20ft screens and gold fireproof fiberglass material.

I saw Rocky Horror there for the first time. A Pizza Uno was built on the site after the building was torn down, now Aspen Dental.

They moved what locals called Keene Cinemas across Winchester Street down to a site off of Key Road just West of the Staples box store… Currently (2014)showing movies, saw The Wolf of Wall Street a few months back.
