Around the turn of the 19<\/span>th<\/span> century, public orators made use of overturned, wooden soap crates to elevate their voices. Today, someone might be told to \u201cget off their soapbox\u201d when delivering a particularly passionate, loud message. But to Town Hall, the soapbox signifies a space for sharing ideas, listening, and finding inspiration \u2013 a space to be part of, not a space to step down from. It\u2019s exactly the kind of space that we strive to create at Town Hall.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From civics talks to vibrant musical performances, Town Hall is a platform for a multitude of opinions, ideas, and forms of expression \u2013 just like the century-old soapboxes that preceded us. As we head into our 25<\/span>th<\/span> season, we hope you\u2019ll step up on the Silver Soapbox with us and celebrate Town Hall\u2019s past, present, and future!<\/span><\/p>\n
