See the most buzzed about movies at The Music Hall

I have vivid memories of when I was a little girl dressing up in my fanciest dresses and sitting in front of my TV to watch the Golden Globes and Academy Awards. I was obsessed with the fashion of the night and as I got older I started to pay attention to the movies that were taking home those fabulous statues and the movies they were celebrating. I remember trying to see the movies, begging my parents to drive a hour to see it. Today, I one of my favorite things is that I can now see most, if not all, of the award season darlings right here at my favorite theater. Our January and February film lineup is packed full of the movies everyone is talking about. Read More Read More

Film discussion: Lady Bird Film

Film discussion: Lady Bird

After four Tuesdays without a film discussion, my guess is that you’re ready to get back to The Music Hall for some cinematic nourishment. But if something—January cold or post-holiday depression—is holding you back, I have three strong arguments to get your fruitcake-augmented backside back in the theater seat. (Sorry, that was insensitive. Pretend I didn’t say that. ) Read More Read More

Member Spotlight: Jackie Gadsden and Laurel Dunn

When I encounter Jackie Gadsden and Laurel Dunn in the coffee shop to talk about this article, I find them deep in conversation with a gentleman seated at their table. As he got up to leave, I was surprised to hear them exchange “nice to meet yous.” Apparently, he was in town from Hawaii visiting family and had tripped on his way into the shop. The three of them struck up a conversation that led to an invitation to their table. If you ever trip grabbing your morning coffee in downtown Portsmouth, I highly recommend running into Jackie and Laurel. There couldn’t be two more friendly, interesting, and charming women to help get your day back on track. Read More Read More
A Bright Future Campaign

A Bright Future

This year, as we begin to celebrate our 30th anniversary as a 501(c)3 nonprofit, I’m reminded just how far The Music Hall has come over the last three decades. When I saw my first show at our Historic Theater, it looked a lot different than it does today. The lower lobby didn’t exist, the inside of the theater was painted paper white and peeling off on patrons, our chandelier was a trash can lid with floodlights in it, and our marquee was made of particle board. We knew this theater had great bones, and it was time to think about how we were going to preserve her. Read More Read More
