Our Commitment to Community

“The Music Hall reconnects audiences and communities with creativity, purpose, art, and life.”
Ken Burns

As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, we are part of and supported by the Seacoast community, so it is essential for us to give back. For more than 35 years through active educational initiatives live and on-screen experiences, thousands of people have participated in presentations, conversations, workshops, masterclasses, and children’s theater.

In Portsmouth, the “City of the Open Door,” we strive to be the Great Room for all, offering our stages to help other organizations further their missions, either in collaboration with or by extending heavy nonprofit discounts. By working with those with similar missions to ours across the Seacoast, we are stronger together. 

We’re proud to serve our community in a vital role. Our scope may be global, but our heart is local.
