CURATOR'S CORNER SHARE THE MAGIC WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS IN NEED CHRIS CURTIS, Film & Outreach Manager The holiday season is the season of gift giving, and what better way to honor that then to give to those in need. This year’s Ogunquit Playhouse production of Elf The Musical is pure magic with great costumes and tons of hilarity, all wrapped up in our festively decorated Historic Theater. But we need your help! Inspired by Morgan and Tara Rutman, Give the Gift of Magic has gifted 270 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 Elf tickets to those families in need. We are excited to welcome two new community partners, Big Brothers Big Sisters of New Hampshire and Arts in Reach, who join Greater Seacoast Community Health (formerly Families First Health and Support Center and Goodwin Community Health of Somersworth) and Cross Roads House in Portsmouth in receiving these tickets. Donations are also accepted online, at the B2W box office, or over the phone.

"We are so fortunate to once again be a beneficiary of The Music Hall's Give the Gift of Magic Campaign,” said Janet Laatsch, Chief Executive Officer of Greater Seacoast Community Health. “This unique opportunity provides an experience many of our families can only dream of. People often forget that some of our Seacoast friends and neighbors struggle this time of year, but these tickets allow parents and their children to create long-lasting memories that are truly priceless.”

It’s rewarding for all of us here at The Music Hall to know that more local families will enjoy the holiday magic of Elf The Musical this season, thanks to our wonderful patrons, members, donors, and sponsors.

BLACKkKLANSMAN R

• 2h 15m • US 10/27, 10/30, 11/1 • 7pm From visionary filmmaker Spike Lee comes the incredible true story of an American hero. It's the early 1970s, and Ron Stallworth (John David Washington) is the first African-American detective to serve in the Colorado Springs Police Department.

Determined to make a name for himself, Stallworth bravely sets out on a dangerous mission: infiltrate and expose the Ku Klux Klan. The young detective soon recruits a more seasoned colleague, Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver), into the undercover investigation of a lifetime.

BLAZE R

• 2h 9m • US 11/2, 11/7, 11/8 • 7pm Inspired by the life of Blaze Foley, the unsung songwriting legend of the Texas outlaw music movement that spawned the likes of Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson. The film weaves together three different periods of time, braiding re-imagined versions of Blaze's past, present, and future. The different strands explore his love affair with Sybil Rosen; his last, dark night on earth; and the impact his songs and his death had on his fans, friends, and foes. From Writer-Director Ethan Hawke.

THE WIFE R

• 1h 40m • UK 11/13, 11/16 • 7pm After nearly forty years of marriage, Joan and Joe Castleman (Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce) are complements. Where Joe is casual, Joan is elegant. Where Joe is vain, Joan is self-effacing. The film interweaves the story of the couple's youthful passion and ambition with a portrait of a marriage, thirty-plus years later—a lifetime's shared compromises, secrets, betrayals, and mutual love.

Struggling with her demons and the consequences of a muddled life, she longs to rebuild a relationship with her son, whose custody she lost long ago. A brave and uncompromising musician, Nico's story is the story of a rebirth: of an artist, a mother, and the woman behind the icon.

Based on Penelope Fitzgerald's acclaimed novel and directed by Isabel Coixet (Learning to Drive).

In Past Tense, Jack Reacher chases his past in the New Hampshire woods, Laconia, and Manchester. Later in the month on the 14th, we’ll land in St. John with the always-fun, ever-glamorous Elin Hilderbrand and Winter in Paradise, her first novel—a mystery!—set on the U.S. Virgin Island. Finally, on Tuesday, December 4, we’ll gather with bestselling author Ann Hood and her husband, food writer Michael Ruhlman (The Soul of a Chef and The French Laundry Cookbook), to discuss her essays and recipes nourishing bodies and souls.

SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT New Friends Are Our Favorite: Welcome, Lake Street Advisors Chestnut Street is absolutely bustling these days, and all that action has inspired us to forge deeper relationships with our neighbors, including Lake Street Advisors. As an independently registered investment advisor, the team at Lake Street provides expert wealth management and dedicated, highly personalized service. Formed with a focus on holistic family services, they’ve advised generations, from tax and estate planning to insurance strategy and budget forecasting. We appreciate their commitment to family and longevity, and are pleased to welcome them to our sponsor circle.

We are also thrilled to be hosting a group from Lake Street Advisors during Elf The Musical. We love group sales; in fact, we encourage them with special pricing (call Drew at the B2W Box Office for details). Buddy Webb, Managing Partner, shared what prompted the group sale. He reported, “It started when The Music Hall first announced Elf was going to be the holiday musical. Since the movie is my wife’s favorite, we knew we would have to attend. I discussed with my leadership team at Lake Street and we thought inviting the entire company and their families would be a lot of fun. Well, the response was great and we are bringing our group of 75 to the show!”
