Item Description
Written by columnist, lecturer, and historian J. Dennis Robinson, The Music Hall History Book: How a City Built a Theater and a Theater Shaped a City is a gorgeous, 256-page full-color record of the life and times of our arts center. The book covers The Music Hall’s start as a Vaudeville center, welcoming the best acts of its time—including Frederick Douglass, Mark Twain, Buffalo Bill, Tom Thumb, Maude Adams—and through the dark times when the theater was nearly turned into condos before thankfully being saved by The Friends of The Music Hall.
Fully researched, artfully written, and richly illustrated, Music Hall is a must-read for anyone who cherishes the performing arts. Its full-color pages reflect years of diligent research, not just on the theater, but the changing city around it, starting with Portsmouth’s first settlers and ending with many familiar faces today.
Donated by The Music Hall, 28 Chestnut St., Portsmouth, NH
