THE OGUNQUIT PLAYHOUSE AT THE MUSIC HALL PRESENTS

NOVEMBER 27 - DECEMBER 22 Stephen Booth, Lothair Eaton, & the cast of Elf The Musical Photo: Julia Russell

It’s Christmas in July with the Early Bird Discount!

We know—it’s odd to think about snow, freezing temperatures, and the holidays in the middle of the summer. But here at The Music Hall, we always have December on the brain. It’s hard not to when we’re thrilled to be bringing the absolute classic, Annie, to the stage in partnership with the Ogunquit Playhouse! These productions always bring us joy, between the incredible costumes, dancing and singing, local kiddos who've been cast, unbelievable sets that transport you to NYC, and Sally Struthers in her Broadway Tour reprisal of Miss Hannigan! Annie is on sale, and weekend shows are already going fast!

We want to help you out. The best seats and the best prices are still available during the week, so we’ve extended the early bird member discount into July to give YOU more time to get great tickets. And there’s more! We’ve added more shows to this special discount, so it includes previews (11/27 both shows and 11/29 matinee) and mid-week performances (Wednesday and Thursday shows). Want to be the greatest parent or grandparent ever? Get the kids out of school and come to a Wednesday 2pm show! Want to give your team or employees a special holiday treat? Forgo the tired holiday party in the office and catch a show after work together (ask about our group discount, too)!

Do not miss out on this special offer, going on now through July 15.

THE PERFECT GIFT FOR YOUR STAFF As our partnership with the Ogunquit Playhouse continues to thrive, we hear from more people about building holiday traditions around the show, bringing family as well as friends and coworkers. We’ve also seen great success with office parties.

Music Hall friend and restaurateur Michael Labrie closed down the River House and the Atlantic Grill for a night to bring nearly 100 employees and their families to a performance of Elf The Musical. His feedback follows:

What inspired you to share this experience with your staff?

Attending events at The Music Hall has been a tradition in my family for years. I wanted my staff to have an opportunity to

Give the Gift of Magic to Others in Your Community

do that, too. I thought it would be nice for

This holiday season’s Ogunquit Playhouse production of Annie at The Music Hall will be as magical as ever with extraordinary sets, super talented young people, and the songs we all know and love—all in our festive and gorgeous Historic Theater! Share this experience with

together with their families.

those in need this year through our Give the Gift of Magic program.

Inspired by Morgan and Tara Rutman, the program gifted 349 tickets to local families and veterans last year. This year, we are excited to work with 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 to distribute tickets. Says Janet Laatsch, CEO of Greater Seacoast Community Health, “We are so fortunate to once again be a beneficiary of The Music Hall’s Give the Gift of Magic campaign. This unique opportunity provides an experience many of our families can only dream of.”

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 families in need. Donations are accepted online, in person, or over the phone at the B2W Box Office by calling 603.436.2400.

them to take time away from the restaurant

How did it go? Did your staff have a favorite part of the night?

Everyone loved the show. The holiday production is always family-friendly and entertaining for all ages. The Music Hall made it easy for me to provide snack and drink tickets and my staff appreciated the opportunity to enjoy refreshments. Hands down, their favorite part was the finale, when the snow fell on the audience!

Dylan uncovers never-before-heard personal details behind the bands and their songs and how that music continues to inspire today.

Academy Award winner Ron Howard puts audiences front row center for an exploration of The Voice...The Man...The Legend.

Directed by Ralph Fiennes, who also stars.

ALL IS TRUE PG13

• 1h 41m • UK 7/19 • 3pm; 7/20, 7/23, 7/24 • 7pm; 7/21 • 4pm The year is 1613, and Shakespeare is acknowledged as the greatest writer of the age.

But disaster strikes when his renowned Globe Theatre burns to the ground, and devastated, Shakespeare returns to Stratford, where he must face a troubled past and a neglected family. Haunted by the death of his only son Hamnet, he struggles to mend the broken relationships with his wife and daughters. In so doing, he is ruthlessly forced to examine his own failings as husband and father. His very personal search for the truth uncovers secrets and lies within a family at war.

THE TOMORROW MAN PG13

• 1h 34m • US 7/26 • 3pm; 7/26, 7/30, 7/31 • 7pm Ed Hemsler (John Lithgow) spends his life preparing for a disaster that may never come.

SHADOW R

• 1h 56m • China • subtitles 6/29, 7/2, 7/5, 7/6 • 7pm Director Zhang Yimou (Hero, House of Flying Daggers) once again pushes the boundaries of wuxia action to create a film like no other, masterfully painting a canvas of inky blacks and greys punctuated with bursts of color from the blood of the defeated. In a kingdom ruled by a young and unpredictable king, the military commander has a secret weapon: a “shadow,” a look-alike who can fool both his enemies and the king himself. Now he must use this weapon in an intricate plan that will lead his people to victory in a war that the king does not want.

LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT NR

• 2h 13m • China • subtitles 7/9, 7/10, 7/13 • 7pm A noir-tinged film about a solitary man (Jue Huang) haunted by loss and regret, told in two parts: the first an achronological mosaic, the second a nocturnal dream. Again centering around his native province of Guizhou in southwest China, director Gan Bi (Kaili Blues) has created a film like nothing you've seen before.

IYENGAR: THE MAN, YOGA, AND THE STUDENT'S JOURNEY

NR • 1h 47m • US 7/16, 7/18, 7/20, 7/24, 7/25 • 7pm Hailed as “the Michelangelo of yoga” and considered to be one of the most important masters in the world, B.K.S. Iyengar is credited with bringing the ancient art of yoga to the modern masses. Born in Southern India 100 years ago, the legendary guru is the founder of Iyengar Yoga, a form of Hatha known for its rigorous mental and spiritual focus. Filmed before he passed away in 2014, this intimate portrait centers on Iyengar's legacy and teachings while illuminating the life-changing holistic methods at the core of his practice.

TONI MORRISON: THE PIECES I AM PG13

• 2h • US 7/26, 7/27, 7/30, 7/31 • 7pm This artful and intimate meditation on the legendary storyteller examines her life, her works, and the powerful themes she has confronted throughout her literary career.
