This past month, as you may have noticed, I’ve been on an interview kick here on the blog. It takes me back to my high school newspaper days. Anyway, now that I’ve digressed, or regressed, I love a good interview and this week, I caught up with Ashleigh Tucker Pollock, our Special Events Manager & Rental Coordinator. I get the pleasure of working on a lot of projects with Ashleigh and wanted to learn more about how she creates amazing theme parties, what her design inspirations are, and what her good luck charm is (not to spoil the interview but it turns out, I am, mostly because I’m on the Gala committee but I’ll take it). Check out our interview and make sure to get your tickets for this year’s Gala, An Affair to Remember coming to the Historic Theater’s stage on Saturday, February 11.Read More

I have a confession, I am not a public radio listener. I know, I know, I missing out on a lot of great content, but I just don’t listen to the radio. So in December, when our Writers on a New England Stage producer Margaret Talcott told me that we had booked Krista Tippett, I didn’t understand just how cool it was. After talking to Monte (Director of Marketing and my NPR authority), I took to Google. After reading through several interviews with her and listening to a couple of her podcasts, I was blown away. If you’re like me, and you’ve yet to discover Krista, check out my interview and get your ticket to see her at our Historic Theater on Thursday, March 2. Read More

I’m not assuming that everyone on my mailing list for film discussions has the same politics, but this is Portsmouth, so I’m going to assume that there’s a fair amount of unsettledness out there. In my world, I feel like a python that has just swallowed a porcupine; can’t ignore it, can’t digest it, just have to live through the process.
But, here’s the thing. Now we’re going to have to learn how to be normal again. Protests are good and necessary and useful, but we can’t march every day. We still need to laugh with friends and drink beer and buy stuff and watch TV and just generally normal out.Read More

Part of my role in the Marketing Department is that I sit on the Gala Committee. It’s a really fun committee to be a part of, each year we get to brainstorm a theme and then watch it come to life with the help of some amazingly talented people. In the next couple of weeks, I’m going to be introducing you to some of these magic makers who seamlessly carry out the vision of the committee year after year.
If you have yet to join us at a Music Hall Gala, it’s a themed party that takes place on stage at the Historic Theater. In past years, we transformed into a prohibition era speakeasy and a 1940s Officer Club, this year will be an “Affair to Remember” on Saturday, February 11, 2017 as we invite you to our mid-century modern cocktail party straight out of Mad Men.Read More

Reading has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. When I was little I used to hide flashlights around my room so I could read well past the allotted time, buried under my covers. Today, I make sure my ipad is updated with the latest book that I’m reading and my night stand is piled high with books waiting to be started.Read More

I love watching the award shows, from the red carpet coverage all the way through to the Best Picture award winner, I settle in on my couch, with my popcorn and cheer for the one movie that I had actually seen. I used to wonder where you could see some of these lesser known movies and always resolved that next year I’d see all of the Best Picture nominees, a resolution that never seemed to happen. That is until I started working here at The Music Hall. Thanks to our stellar line up of movies, I have the chance to see almost all of the films that are up for awards. I figured I’d share what movies we have that are nominated (or have won) so you can mark your calendars.Read More

Welcome to the New Year! (Or, as a slightly more cynical person might put it, “It’s a New Year and you’re welcome to it!”)
But I refuse to give in to bitterness. Wallow in it, yes. But I won’t give in to it.
Besides, whatever may be happening elsewhere in our beloved Republic, Portsmouth is enjoying a New England January that calls for indoor activities. And The Music Hall, ever attentive to our needs, is presenting its usual menu of movies that you won’t see at the MallPlexx 6000.Read More
