Normally on Monday’s we are dark, meaning there isn’t a show or a movie. This Monday however, the Historic Theater will be brightly lit when Pink Martini returns. I for one can’t wait. If you haven’t had the chance to see this group live, scoop up the last of the tickets and put on your dancing shoes. Read More

It’s not often in this blog that I get to look backwards, I’m usually focused on upcoming events. There’s always a new show, or a new movie, or event that I’m excited to experience that I don’t take the time to reflect. Read More

This time of year, Portsmouth comes to life. The tourist swarm downtown, the flowers all are in bloom, and the waterfront restaurants are all packed full, it’s like a postcard come to life. While we are all taking full advantage of all the Seacoast has to offer, there are people in this community that summer brings a new set of challenges and hardships.Read More

It’s hard to believe that we are already halfway through June, although that stretch of 90*+ days did help make me believe that we would in fact have a summer. As I was going through my calendar, I realized that we are just a week and a half away from Fill The Hall. If you’re not familiar with Fill The Hall, it’s a food drive that we host here at our Historic Theater. Our goal is to fill every seat (and then some) in the theater with a bag of nonperishable food, to support Gather’s (formerly Seacoast Family Food Pantry) Summer Meals 4 Kids program. This program is to help provide at need children with nutritional meals during the summer months when school lunch programs aren’t available. Read More

I have a confession, I’m a little bit of a crazy cat lady, without actually owning a cat… So you can only imagine how excited I am that the CatVideo Festival is returning to the Historic Theater on Friday night. What is the CatVideo Festival you ask? It’s a curated collection of fun, funny, and adorable cat videos all projected up on our big screen.Read More

Usually, when I talk about the Loft, I use the word discovery. I talk about about how you get the chance to see an artist up close and personal before they move on the play large venues or even the Historic Theater and before their music is all over the radio. I relate it to getting in on the ground floor, to knowing something special before anyone else all right here in downtown Portsmouth. Lately, however, I’ve noticed that the acts that we’re getting are pretty well known artists with established fan bases like Dakhabrakha, Alejandro Escovedo, and coming on Tuesday Zach Williams of the Lone Bellow.

Today, we’re announcing our our new season and while none of us can believe that we’re launching a new season already, we’re also super excited for all of the shows coming to TMH. With over 20 new shows going on sale on June 3, I thought I’d reach out to our curatorial team to see what shows they were most excited to present. Read More

The Internet Cat Video Festival is returning to the Historic Theater next month. It’s a whole festival dedicated to all of those videos that we all can’t stop watching as we scroll through Facebook.
