This Summer, my Aunt and I made a pact to have a “No Bummer Summer.” Our goal for this summer was to opt in to any and all fun activities, to do and see things that we haven’t done before, and in general, just to have a ton of fun. I took that premise, that was supposed to apply to my personal life, and I also made it my motto for what I do here at The Music Hall. Read More

Eleven year old Noah Ades, a student at Portsmouth Music and Arts (PMAC) for the past two years, is sitting in the lobby of The Music Hall historic theater with a group of his fellow students on the afternoon of Saturday July 30. They are eagerly waiting to meet jazz superstar and tenor saxophonist Kamasi Washington, who is visiting with his band between performances at the Newport Jazz Festival.

Every month, I read Vogue Magazine cover to cover. I curl up with each issues and a quad shot soy latte, I put my iPhone on do not disturb, it’s become one of my traditions.

The first is Jane Austen, who is, without a doubt, one of the clearest-eyed, most wickedly amusing observers of human behavior ever. Her insights into the jealousy, snobbery and folly of late 18th and early 19th century England can still draw blood, which is why filmmakers keep making and remaking her novels into movies. (Well, the fact that her works are all in the public domain and feed the current general hunger for costume dramas may have something to do with it.)Read More

When I first started working at The Music Hall, the first thing that really struck me was the pride of ownership people felt about the theater. Whether it was from the staff members who had worked here for dozens of years or members of the community who grew up going to movies and shows, everyone had a unique but fascinating story. As we were talking about this in the marketing department we thought it would be fun to hear other people’s stories about what The Music Hall means to them, why they became a member, why they’ve worked here for 15 years, why they choose to partner with us.Read More
