The Beacon Theatre was built in 1928, and remained a Vaudeville and movie theater that entertained the residents of Hopewell until its closure in 1981. This historic theater has since been revived and is today a magnificent live performance venue. The theater itself is fashioned upon a splendid blend of Art Deco and the Colonial Revival styles of architecture, and is rife with plaster friezes and intricate brickwork. Numerous subtle details lend the theater a charm that is enigmatic and alluring. Beacon theater offers a varied program of live performances throughout the year, including everything from concerts and theater productions, to comedy shows.
