From Our New Executive Director
Hello! It’s wonderful to officially introduce myself to you all as The Music Hall’s new Executive Director!
When I joined The Music Hall five years ago as the CFO, it was a full-circle opportunity. Having started out in community theater and working with local bands, I leaped at the chance to return to the arts and entertainment industry. I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Patricia Lynch, a legendary industry professional, and the talented team at The Music Hall. I am particularly excited to take on a significant role so deeply rooted in the community.
I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to The Music Hall Board for their support through these times, and a special thanks to Patricia, whose vision and leadership created The Music Hall that we all cherish today. Their mentorship and guidance have been irreplaceable. And to you, our members and community whose steadfast support has ensured that we remain a treasure on the Seacoast—thank you.
I look forward to building upon all that has made The Music Hall such a vital force for bringing people together in our community. My vision is to continue the success of The Music Hall’s trademark diverse programming in our film, literary, comedy, music, and leadership series. Our stellar curatorial team will continue their great work in elevating these successes and adapting to greater use of patron feedback and data. I plan on collaborating more with our community and Seacoast organizations to create a sustainable future for all.
I want to assure you that as we reopen, we’ll be prepared to do so as safely as possible. Our Human Resources department and the Operation teams have been working together since the beginning of March to develop new and updated policies and procedures. As information changes often, we’ll continue to monitor state and local recommendations and share more information as we are able. Thank you for your continued patience as we all navigate uncharted waters! For the latest updates, please visit our Reopening page regularly and look out for our weekly emails.
While our doors are temporarily closed, I am confident and encouraged every day by the resolve of our staff, board, and community that we will reopen and be a gathering place for all to reconnect again. The past five years have given me the incredible opportunity to engage directly with many of you at the theater. Smiling and laughing alongside you in our theaters has brought me so much joy, and I’m looking forward to a future full of those moments that connect us to each other and our community.
