Today we had our first School Day’s Series show of our season. This is by far the most adorable programming that we have here at The Music Hall. For just $6 local elementary students come see their favorite books come to life on the Historic Theater’s stage. I love watching all of the kids come in to the theater, some of them for the very first time, dressed in their very best outfits, all bursting with excitement that only a field trip can bring. Looking down from the balcony it always reminds me of a little ant farm watching all of the kids wiggling around in their seats, so excited to see the show.Read More

This year, as I pulled my Telluride by the Sea staff shirt out, it occurred to me, TbtS weekend is like summer camp. People come from all over the place to spend the weekend watching movies here in Portsmouth that only a handful of other people have seen. Then we all get to talk about them, what we liked, what we hated, what we’re looking forward to, I mean who knew Emma Stone could sing and dance?Read More

People like to say that movies are timeless. But they’re not. Every one of them is a statement about the time they were made, the state of the world, the state of technology, the issues that were resonating with people at the time. As popular and as prevalent as some movies have become through the years, by shear volume of global film production, it can be all too easy for even great works by known masters to sink into obscurity, and disappear from popular consciousness.Read More

September is my favorite month, it is the start of fall, the beginning of football (I’m happy to share that I’m undefeated in both of my fantasy leagues), the Fairy House tour takes place (I have my wings ready), my birthday, and the Telluride by the Sea Film Festival comes to The Music Hall. Telluride is my favorite weekend at The Music Hall. I love that our little town gets some of the best movies before they are released, and I get to see them with some of my very favorite people.Read More

The driving force behind the creation of our #MyMusicHall, video series has been my boss, Monte Bohanan, our Director of Marketing. When I was putting together a list of possible subjects, it only seemed natural that he would be one of them. I love hearing his stories about what The Music Hall was like when he first started here and how it’s changed over the 17 years he’s been working here. After some sweet talking, he agreed to tell his story.
