We have seen some amazing artists over the years from Lindsey Buckingham to Astrud Gilberto. We had fun when we saw the film "Say Anything" and afterwards, the audience could ask questions from John Cusack. Last week we saw the comedian Mae Martin. The Capitol Center gets some big city name and we are very lucky to have access to great entertainment right in our own backyards. The theatre is gorgeous and there isn't a bad seat in the house. The staff are friendly and helpful and I look forward to attending many more shows, right here in my adopted hometown.

The Chubb theater is such a great venue. The walk way in…read moreoff the side walk is very beautiful. The lobby is very very big and they have a bar, a snack stand, and sell pizzas from the restaurant across the street. There's even some tables to sit at to enjoy your concessions and lots of room for a merch table, etc. The bar had a good list of offerings - but I'm not sure I loved the magnet/washer beer draft system. I can't explain it - if you go you'll see. The auditorium itself was intimate, all the seats were good. It's a historic theater, so there is less room than you might be used to - but I didn't feel uncomfortable. I went for the two night magnetic fields event and I had such a great time. I have to give some extra praise. I thought I lose my wallet the first night, I called the box office and the person there very happily assured me they would check the lost and found and call me back. They did indeed call me back and were so kind. I really appreciated it. If you go, be prepared to park in the municipal garage and walk to the venue. Give yourself some extra time to park and walk.

What a wonderful venue. We went to see Jeremy Jordan's one-time show at the Stage. It was…read morephenomenal and a good part of it was the venue. Not a stodgy theater with little legroom and a see-and shut-up atmosphere. It is a living theater, one where you can bring your wine and cheese, one where audience participation is accepted, one where photo is not frowned upon. Besides Jordan's superb performance, the thespian-loving crowd was in rare form, making it a part of the uplifting show. The theater has awesome acoustics. And as well, there is not one bad seat in the house, as the fairly steep angle of the rows provides for superb visibility throughout. The large bar and sitting area upstairs compliment the Stage. Welcoming, comfortable, with a full bar and wine offerings. Indeed, the Bank of New Hampshire stage is a model for others to follow.

The Bank of NH Stage is housed in a refurbished brick building and opened back in June 2019. The place offers an intimate theater setting with floor seating (small tables with chairs or open floor) in front of the stage and slanted rows of seating, so every seat here is great. For food, their cafe in the lobby offers made to order sandwiches, salads, naan pizzas, mac & cheese, chicken tenders, nachos, quiche, snacks, baked goods, and bottled drinks. They also have two bars serving beer & wine here including a small bar inside the theater and the main bar & lounge on the second floor with ample table seating and seating along the windows overlooking Concord. The trays provided from the cafe fit right over the narrow long wooden eating surface along the windows too! I attended an acoustic concert at Bank of NH Stage very recently. Before the show, I enjoyed their Smoked BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich ($12) drizzled with tangy BBQ sauce & served on soft brioche bun with zesty Oriental mayo,marinated vegetable slaw and garnished with sliced dill pickles & red pepper drops. I had a front row table seat and really enjoyed the performance since the view was great (up close) and the acoustics were superb! Overall, this venue was awesome and I definitely look forward to seeing more shows here!

Finding the playhouse was easy and it's a few miles from downtown Meredith. Parking was really easy considering the show was sold out and the playhouse itself is picturesque and charming. The theatre only holds a couple of hundred so it's easy to get in and out. I would highly recommend coming to see a show. The actors are professionals and each show brings a different cast. The prices were very reasonable and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. We will be back!

Then learned they were a primarily reservation-based restaurant, BUT they were able to snag me a table...Yay! The restaurant was unusual in that it felt like a fake establishment, almost set up as a prop for a comedy skit. The server came over promptly and told me that all food arrived from outside, and they just heated things up, and that they may or may not have all things on the menu. Anyway, it all worked out, they had what I wanted, and it was all actually really good, and the concert was... AMAZING!!!

The venue is nestled in a wide expanse and there is plenty of parking. The building is gorgeious inside and out. You are able to order a meal ahead for dining before a show. I thought it would be chaos but it was well organized and the seatings timed in a way that you could have a leisurely meal. The concert hall is beautiful and I'm guessing there is not a bad seat in the house. I will be back!

Stage Show - Jack of Diamonds…read more An amateur stage production of a comedy. It was okay, but the actors needed better direction especially doing a farce. One character kept the script in-hand the entire show and certain scenes were clumsy, rather than funny. A farce is a very specific form of comedy, which takes acting chops to pull off. Overall, entertaining for what it was and the cost, but disappointing from a stage direction standpoint.

The Kimball-Jenkins Estate has been gracing the old estate section of New Hampshire's capital city since before the American Revolution. A stone's throw from the site of the first Garrison House built during the French and Indian Wars in the 1740s, the site of the first house built in Concord NH in 1726, and the beautiful, Greek Revival home of President Franklin Pierce, 14th President of the United States. The Kimball-Jenkins Estate is a gorgeous Victorian estate with several annex buildings. The main building houses events and part of the display collection, which this month had beautiful paintings drawn by former Kimball-Jenkins students. I especially liked some that had a little Pollock infusion. The annex buildings house the Academy of Arts and the carriage house is used for special events. In several visits here, I've been in two different events at the carriage house, which is a superb place for events. The rest of the campus is also beautiful and well suited for weddings or just a stroll. A unique, beautiful, and historical gem in New Hampshire's Capital City.
