CURATOR'S CORNER CASTING FORWARD—TUNE IN! Thérèse LaGamma, Deputy Director of Programming & Performing Arts Curator As a new season kicks off, there is much to look forward to. Brazil’s Seu Jorge returns to town with a show that is sure to get us all moving and dancing to his infectious samba and bossa nova rhythms. Some may recognize his voice from Wes Anderson’s The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou soundtrack where he covered David Bowie songs in his native tongue, Portuguese. This latest show has him performing a mixed repertoire. Be sure to check out this international superstar when he comes through town on August 18! I'm especially excited to welcome the latest addition to our Intimately Yours series: The Wood Brothers on November 3. The trio tours behind their latest album, One Drop of Truth. NPR’s World Café proclaims, “There is so much warmth, soul, and musicianship at a Wood Brothers show, it's no surprise that the band's audience keeps growing.” The Loft has come to be known as a place for discovery acts. On September 8 Rev. Sekou takes to the stage. He's a self-described activist, theologian, author, documentary filmmaker, and musician. His music is a unique blend of North Mississippi hill country music, Arkansas Delta blues, Memphis soul, and Pentecostal steel guitar. His live performances are electrifying! If you missed Dwight Yoakam when he was here five years ago, this is your chance to catch him! He joins us on October 2. Johnny Cash once cited Yoakam as his favorite country singer. Chris Isaak called him as good a songwriter as ever put a pen to paper. Time dubbed him “A Renaissance Man” and Vanity Fair declared that “Yoakam strides the divide between rock's lust and country's lament.” The Lone Bellow returns to the Music Hall with new songs and transcendent harmonies. The band is known for its raucous live performance.

Bright and Bountiful, Fill The Hall was a Success! This year’s Fill The Hall was a colorful sight! Bags in a rainbow of colors sat full in the balcony while a team of volunteers expertly sorted, collected, moved, and filled throughout the orchestra. Kids lead other kids through the steps (when they weren’t building forts in the banana boxes), and adults hooted and hollered when trucks loaded with groceries drove up the brand-new street. Portsmouth showed its love to the tune of over $5,000 in cash donations, and several tons of food. The end of the day photo captures a full hall, but there were many more bags on the stage, ready to head to Gather’s pantry for the Summer Meals 4 Kids program. A huge thank you to the dedicated and kind group of volunteers from both The Music Hall and Gather. Thanks also to the individuals, businesses, and entire neighborhoods in the area for collecting and contributing to this year’s event.

• 1h 36m • US 8/3, 8/4, 8/7, 8/8, 8/9 • 7pm Based on the inspiring true story of two sailors who set out to cross the ocean from Tahiti to San Diego. Tami Oldham (Shailene Woodley, Fault in Our Stars) and Richard Sharp (Sam Claflin, Me Before You) couldn't anticipate they would be sailing directly into one of the most catastrophic hurricanes in recorded history. In the aftermath, Tami awakens to find Richard badly injured and their boat in ruins. With no hope for rescue, Tami must find the strength and determination to save them both.
• 2h 7m • US 8/10, 8/11, 8/14, 8/15, 8/16 • 7pm When Ellen, the matriarch of the Graham family, passes away, her daughter's family begins to unravel cryptic and increasingly terrifying secrets about their ancestry. Making his feature debut, writer-director Ari Aster unleashes a nightmare vision of a domestic breakdown that exhibits the craft and precision of a nascent auteur, transforming a familial tragedy into something ominous and deeply disquieting, and pushing the horror movie into chilling new terrain with its shattering portrait of heritage gone to hell.
• 1h 34m • US 8/17, 8/21, 8/22 • 7pm; 8/19 • 1pm From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville (20 Feet from Stardom), Won't You Be My Neighbor? takes an intimate look at America's favorite neighbor: Mister Fred Rogers. A portrait of a man whom we all think we know, this emotional and moving film takes us beyond the zip-up cardigans and the land of make-believe, and into the heart of a creative genius who inspired generations of children with compassion and limitless imagination.
• 1h 37m • US 8/24, 8/25, 8/28, 8/29 • 7pm In the hip Brooklyn neighborhood of Red Hook, single dad Frank (Nick Offerman) is preparing to send his hard-working daughter Sam (Kiersey Clemons) off to college, while being forced to close his vintage record shop. Hoping to stay connected through their shared musical passions, Frank urges Sam to turn their weekly “jam sesh” into a father-daughter live act. After their first song becomes an Internet breakout, they embark on a journey of love, growing up, and musical discovery.

• 1h 44m • US 7/28, 7/31, 8/1, 8/2 • 7pm; 7/29 • 4pm Based on a true story starring breakout Brady Jandreau as a once-rising star of the rodeo circuit, warned that his competition days are over after a tragic riding accident. Brady finds himself wondering what he has to live for when he can no longer do what gives him a sense of purpose: to ride and compete. In an attempt to regain control of his fate, Brady undertakes a search for new identity and tries to redefine his idea of what it means to be a man in the heartland of America.

• 1h 12m • US 7/27, 7/31, 8/1, 8/2 • 7pm A documentary film by Sky Bergman that celebrates the incredible wit and wisdom of adults 75 to 100 years old who are living their lives to the fullest. Encompassing over 3,000 years of experience, forty people share their secrets and insights to living a meaningful life. Their intimate memories and inspiring personal histories will make you laugh, perhaps cry, but mostly inspire you.
• 1h 32m • US 8/5 • 1pm; 8/7, 8/8, 8/9 • 7pm Brooklyn parents Alex (Claire Danes) and Greg (Jim Parsons) are lucky to have a kid like Jake. Their four-year-old is bright, precocious, creative—and just happens to prefer Disney princesses to toy cars and skirts to jeans. Jake’s “gender-expansive” behavior—as local preschool director Judy (Octavia Spencer) dubs it—is no big deal to Alex and Greg. Or so it seems, until the process of navigating New York City’s hypercompetitive private school system opens up a 21st-century parental quagmire.
• 1h 47m • US 8/11, 8/14, 8/15, 8/16 • 7pm; 8/12 • 1pm Forty years after the death of Elvis Presley, two-time Sundance Grand Jury winner Eugene Jarecki's new film takes the King's 1963 Rolls-Royce on a musical road trip across America. In this groundbreaking film, Jarecki paints a visionary portrait of the state of the American Dream and a penetrating look at how the hell we got here. A diverse cast of Americans, both famous and not, join the journey.
• 1h 20m • US 8/17, 8/18, 8/22, 8/23 • 7pm Three years before the Maysles' landmark documentary Grey Gardens introduced the world to Edith and Edie Beale—the unforgettable mother-daughter (and Jackie O. relatives)—renowned photographer Peter Beard chronicled life at their crumbling Long Island estate during one summer in 1972. For the first time ever, director Göran Olsson assembles this long-lost footage—featuring glimpses of luminaries like Andy Warhol, Mick Jagger, and Truman Capote—into a one-of-a-kind family portrait that would make Big and Little Edie beloved cultural icons.
• 1h 30m • US 8/24, 8/25, 8/29, 8/30 • 7pm; 8/26 • 1pm In an Iowa farmhouse basement, eccentric collector Mike Zahs makes a remarkable discovery: the showreels of the man who brought moving pictures to America's Heartland. From thousands of trinkets, handwritten journals, receipts, posters, and catalogs emerges the story of William Franklin Brinton, an inventive farm boy who became America's greatest barnstorming movieman. As Mike uncovers this hidden legacy, he begins a journey to restore the Brinton name that takes us to The Library of Congress, Paris, and back.

SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT Bonjour and Bienvenue to La Maison Navarre! If you could take your eyes off the action on Chestnut Street for a moment, you may have noticed a lot of work happening at our neighbor’s, La Maison Navarre. The authentic French pastry shop has expanded with the addition of MN Wine Bar - Fromagerie & Charcuterie. That eyecatching glass counter of macarons in the front window is now mimicked in the back by a glass case of exceptional French cheeses and cold cuts, surrounded by shelves of French wines.

Happy 20th Birthday, Telluride by the Sea! Twenty years ago, Bill and Stella Pence relocated to Portsmouth. They had been co-founders of Telluride Film Festival in Colorado in 1974 (now in its 45th year), the festival about which Roger Ebert said, “[it’s] like Cannes died and went to heaven.” Every year, the tiny town of Telluride gets swarmed by festival goers, who all buy their passes prior to any film titles being announced. That’s how greatly the curators of the festival are trusted.

Our planet needs our attention, too: between waste and destruction, the sustainability of this planet is one of the most critical topics covered. On August 30, Eating Animals will discuss the consequences of factory farming and the benefits of ethical farming
Twenty years later, Telluride by the Sea is going strong and growing. This year with the new Chestnut Streetscape, there are even more reasons to celebrate this gem of a festival that gives the Seacoast first looks at top-notch film premieres. The cinephiles’ party of the year!

book and narrated by Natalie Portman. In June’s International Ocean Film Tour, we saw six short films of our impact on the ocean alongside action footage of water sports and humans battling this epic force. But it doesn’t end there: The Music Hall shows out-ofand a famous scientist with a mission to save the world. And through it all, we must find hope. Authors Angela Duckworth and Ann Hood remind us that we have to fight for the things we want and to cherish what we have, like food, family, and love. In Duckworth’s Grit, we learn the power of perseverance behindthe-scenes of some of the most trying careers and most successful people. And in Hood’s collection of personal essays, Kitchen Yarns, she explores ways to combat grief with camaraderie, craft, and a good meal (something we can all get behind). Join us at one of our upcoming Innovation + Leadership events and help us make a lasting impact on the world and our hometown. TheMusicHall.org
