The Music Hall, from whom all cinematic blessings flow, must have been worried that April might produce too much giddy happiness in its PWSD-afflicted New England clientele. So they decided to give us a Spring Tonic in the form of two very substantial movies. Accordingly, our two films for discussion this month are Carol and Anomalisa.Read More

The Loft, which feels like the world’s most luxurious screening room, seemed the perfect venue for a new program that would mix cinephilia with socializing. And so, we give you The Music Hall Film Club: think of it as “See-and-Be-Seen-With-a-Screen”. We meet monthly to enjoy and schmooze about movies presented in a series format, each series lasting six months. The Film Club is a chance to binge a little more on, and learn more about, some aspect of movies, be it a particular film artist, like Orson Welles, or a whole genre, like Hollywood musicals.

I have a confession: I follow a cat on Instagram, making me one of Goal Kitty’s 4000+ followers, I also follow an adorable puppy, but that’s for another blog post. As someone who has worked in social media for longer than I care to admit, I’m still fascinated by how popular pictures and videos of cats are. Every time I scroll through any of my social streams I come across at least one video of a cat doing something that is sure to make me smile.Read More

While we bring in so many amazing concerts, authors, and comedians, we also work to start and facilitate conversations on issues that impact our community.Read More

I remember when I was very young curling up on the couch, in my princess dress, watching the Oscars. None of the movies that I would have picked to win Best Picture won, to be fair the only one I had seen was Beauty and the Beast, and I had never heard of most of the films that were nominated but it seemed so glamorous to me.

Monte & Denise Wheeler look out over the 5 tons of food collected for the Seacoast Family Food Pantry at the Summer’s Fill the Hall Food Drive.
For me, one of the most rewarding parts of my job is seeing and getting to know the broad array of artists that we are fortunate enough to work with. Artists that are internationally renowned, local, regional, new, or new to me. With the addition of the Loft almost five years ago, we have been able to program even more local and regional talent. I am always excited to discover new music and meet the artists. My job puts me in a unique position to do that just about every week.Read More
