I was an assistant manager at Copley Place back in 1988 (I also worked at the Nick from ‘87-'88 and was briefly an assistant manager there in '89). Sad to hear it had closed (I’ve been living overseas for years), even though it wasn’t much of a venue. We used to do most of the press and trade screenings in the city at the time… even had an armed guard there the day we had the press screening of “The Last Temptation of Christ”. Nicholas Cage also showed up for the premiere of “Vampire’s Kiss” during the BFF that year (we snuck him in through the back entrance from the parking garage).
