This month, we’re shining our Member Spotlight on Neely Barnhardt. Some of you might recognize Neely as one of our all-star volunteers or from around downtown Portsmouth where she lives with her husband. I caught up with her to learn about what inspired her to become a member and a volunteer, what her favorite show that she’s seen here at TMH was, and what she loves about being a member. Check out our interview below.Read More

It’s cold and rainy one day and warm and sunny the next, it must be spring in New Hampshire, a state that prides itself on its ability to be unpleasant in any month of the year. Ditto for pleasant.
What remains consistent for those of us who live in the Seacoast area is the position of The Music Hall as our cinematic savior, the source of the unexpected and delightful in every season.Read More

Last week, I had the pleasure of hearing Dani Shapiro talk about her latest memoir, Hourglass: Time, Memory, Marriage, as part of The Music Hall’s Innovation and Leadership Series at the Loft. At one point of her conversation with Margaret Talcott, Shapiro explained why she has excerpts from other authors, such as Joan Didion and Virginia Woolf: over the years, she has kept journals full of memorable quotes that she keeps with her for both reassurance and reflection.

I keep saying over and over again that May is my favorite month here at The Music Hall. It’s the month that not only do I get to celebrate all of our amazing members, but I get to welcome so many new people to our membership family. It’s because of all of you, that we get to be the destination for indie films, celebrated authors, comedians who make you laugh until you cry, and not to mention all of the music! As we welcome artists from Diana Krall to Trey Anastasio and everyone in between six night a week. Read More

Today, we’re announcing our our new season and while none of us can believe that we’re launching a new season already, we’re also super excited for all of the shows coming to TMH. With over 20 new shows going on sale on June 3, I thought I’d reach out to our curatorial team to see what shows they were most excited to present. Read More

Flip through a stack of past Kitchen Tour guide books and one name will start to look very familiar: Dovetailed Kitchens. In addition to sponsoring the event since 2003, Scott Purswell, President of Dovetailed Kitchens, donates his time as well; for the past six years he has served as a member of the Tour organizing committee.Read More

The Internet Cat Video Festival is returning to the Historic Theater next month. It’s a whole festival dedicated to all of those videos that we all can’t stop watching as we scroll through Facebook. So to celebrate, I’m so excited to announce that we’re bringing back our #MeowsicHall Instagram Challenge and we have some pretty purrrfect prizes up our sleeves for the winner. Read More

When I first started here at The Music Hall, I was surprised to see how diverse our members interests were. Some members are avid readers who joined because of our Writers events, some love film, others are Opera Fans, and then there are the members who love the social aspect of coming to a show. This diversity in membership in turn inspired our Music Hall Social Clubs. These Clubs are a great way to meet other members, learn something new, and celebrate what you love most about TMH. For those of you who aren’t familiar with our clubs, I thought I’d share some information about each of them with you today.Read More
