When we first came up with the idea for the #MeowsicHall challenge I thought we would get a few submissions of fun, cute pictures and over the last two weeks, I’ve been pleasantly surprised but the almost adorable 200 submissions I’ve gotten. I’ve been obsessively checking The Music Hall’s Instagram account to see what new photos we had been tagged in and I’ll admit I’ve gotten a little attached to these cats (I’ve included some of them in this post).Read More

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

I’m a big fan of the shows at the Loft, it’s like being the first one to know a secret. As I scan through the many lists of the Best Artists You Haven’t Heard of Yet I alway smile to myself as I count the ones that we’ve welcomed to our intimate theater on Congress Street.Read More

When I first came to The Music Hall I thought that I was going to spend my days marketing upcoming shows and expanding my music taste. For me, The Music Hall was a concert venue that brought in a lot of shows and filled the town with tourists. I quickly learned that the theater is so much more than that. 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.

I used to think that I was on top of pop-culture trends. I read Vanity Fair and watch E News from time to time, but I’ve discovered that I have missed a whole pop culture phenomenon, the YouTube celebrities. When I was a teenager, we had the Hilton sister, Britney Spears, the Spice Girls and other “party girls” in short dresses dancing on tables, today the girls have Miranda Sings! and Grace Helbig wearing jeans and t-shirts broadcasting on YouTube. Never heard of them? Me either.Read More

I’ll never forget when I first read about The Black and White Ball. It was in a caption of a picture of Jackie Kennedy’s sister Lee, in one of the many biographies that I had devoured on the First Lady. I wondered what exactly a Black and White Ball was and who could throw such a fabulous party so I decided to find out. This was the early days of the internet and many years before google, so I made my way over to the library where I discovered Truman Capote, Katherine Graham, Babe Paley, and the Society Swans.Read More

This week, I opened up my mailbox and found a letter from The Music Hall that didn’t come from my department. It was my yearly reminder to renew my membership. As I wrote my check, I got to thinking about what it means to me to be a member.Read More
