CELEBRATE OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH GIVE THE GIFT OF MAGIC CHRIS CURTIS, Film & Outreach Manager

One of my favorite parts of my job is to help facilitate community outreach programs like this one that puts tickets to our annual holiday show partnership with Ogunquit Playhouse in the hands of families in need. It’s rewarding for all of us at The Music Hall to know that more local families from all walks of life will enjoy the perfect family-friendly Christmas show, Annie, this season, thanks to our wonderful patrons and amazing partners.

We sure do need your help! Inspired by Morgan and Tara Rutman, Give the Gift of Magic has grown—just last year, we gifted 349 tickets to local families, but we hope to continue to grow this holiday season and beyond. From now through the first week of December, every time you purchase a ticket to any show at The Music Hall, you can give an additional, tax-deductible donation that will help us provide Annie tickets to those who might not otherwise be able to attend.

We are very grateful for our returning community partners, Haven, Big Brothers Big Sisters of New Hampshire, Arts in Reach, Greater Seacoast Community Health (formerly Families First Health and Support Center and Goodwin Community Health of Somersworth), and Cross Roads House, and we welcome new partner Easterseals New Hampshire.

ON STAGE

Tips & Tricks

Get ready for holiday hilarity with the adorable Annie, a cast of rambunctious children, and actors straight from Broadway! Prepare for a magical night at the theater with these tips and tricks:

• Celebrate Christmas with Annie! As Annie finds a home for Christmas with Mr. Warbucks, this family-friendly holiday show is perfect for all ages!

• Get your tickets now! Tickets are going fast, but there are still good seats available. If you’re looking for an evening or weekend show, some of the best views are in the balcony.

• Win Grandparent of the Year! Take advantage of the holiday school calendar and bring your grandkids to see an Annie matinee.

• Make a restaurant reservation ahead of time. You don’t want to see what Miss Hannigan (played by the one-and-only Sally Struthers) is serving for dinner…

• Help us give back this holiday season by donating to our Give the Gift of Magic campaign. In partnership with Greater Seacoast Community Health, we give tickets to families in need so they can enjoy the show too.

• The most exciting night is Opening Night on Fri., November 29, when the show's energy is at its highest!

• Share the fun! When you come to the theater, snap a picture, check-in at The Music Hall, and use #MyMusicHall.

She’s the last in a long line of Macedonian wild beekeepers, farming honey in small batches to be sold in the closest city—four hours’ walk away. Hatidze’s peaceful existence is thrown into upheaval by the arrival of an itinerant family, with their roaring engines, seven children, and a herd of cattle. Even as the family provides a much-needed respite from Hatidze’s isolation and loneliness, her very means of survival are threatened.

SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT

History Book in the Making

When The Music Hall first opened its doors in 1878, it brought a fresh cultural vibrancy to the city of Portsmouth and now serves as a community hub within the city’s robust arts scene. We’re pleased to announce the publication of a history book on the theater, which documents Portsmouth’s arts culture from the very beginning and the role The Music Hall has played over the years.

Written by author and historian, J. Dennis Robinson, the gorgeous 256-page color book covers The Music Hall’s start as a Vaudeville center, welcoming the best acts of its time—including Frederick Douglass, Mark Twain, Buffalo Bill, Tom Thumb, Maude Adams—through the dark times when the theater was nearly turned into condos and thankfully saved by The Friends of The Music Hall.

Fully researched, artfully written, and richly illustrated, the book is a must-read for anyone who cherishes the performing arts. Its full-color pages reflect years of diligent research, not just on the theater, but the changing city around it, starting with Portsmouth’s first settlers and ending with many familiar faces today.

This storied history is just that as we focus forward. As the book is being published we begin our next steps in the restorations with the replacement of an outdated HVAC system; upgrading our lighting for efficiencies and patron experience; and creating a welcoming green room, hospitality space, and dressing room. When you live in an old house, your work is never done.

Family Drives Success at C&J

C&J is a family business. Jim Jalbert’s father started C&J as a Logan Airport taxi service 50 years ago and now Jim’s sons Brooks and Cameron are getting involved. With a clear commitment to family and community—not to mention the New York City route—C&J is a natural partner for our holiday show, Annie. With that in mind, Brooks Jalbert and Cameron Colen took a moment to share with us their perspective on family, tradition, and the future of C&J.

You two are not the only ones keeping C&J in the family; other team members have also brought family members into the fold. How does this influence the culture?

CC: C&J has always been a family-run company and we treat our employees like family. I think that’s what attracts others to join our team: it’s a friendly and collaborative environment where people enjoy coming to work each day and I think the family dynamic allows for continued consistency as the company progresses.

C&J is an active supporter of many organizations across the region. Why you are so committed to sharing your success?

BJ: Businesses are meant to work for people. We want to create not only economic value, but also social value. Providing a responsive and effective transportation service gives us the resources to work towards this purpose, but it’s on us to share them in such a way that strengthens our community.

Does the Jalbert family have any holiday traditions (beyond attending a performance of the Ogunquit Playhouse production at The Music Hall, of course)?

BJ: Last year we all got red matching onesies to wear on Christmas Eve. I’m not confident that this is an established tradition yet, but it will be if I have anything to say about it.

CC: Melted cheese on Christmas morning. It’s lit. Our mom gets “Rat Trap” cheddar from Calef’s in Barrington, melts it on a big hot plate, and we scoop it onto a good piece of bread. It’s simple but incredible (much like C&J’s bus service).

What’s next for C&J?

BJ & CC: The next couple years we have a few really exciting projects coming down the pipeline. We can’t divulge too many details just yet, but there’s plenty for our customers and the Seacoast community to look forward to.

For more from Brooks and Cam, read the full interview on our blog. For more about C&J, visit RideCJ.com.
