Overview – Opened in 1928, the Beacon Theater was originally a vaudeville hall. Then it became a "movie palace" with the advent of talkies. Now a nationally registered Art Deco landmark, the theater presents both stage and music performances for almost three decades. It's an ideal place to catch national rock acts before they play arenas, as well as dramatists and rap, gospel and world music acts. – – The Experience – The Beacon's graduating rows of cushioned chairs make it easy to forget its 2,800-capacity size, even in the balconies.

Old School, But Still Decent

Nice theatre but beware of seating chart on-line

by bergs43

It's a nice, small theatre and all to see a concert but our seats were miserable, and there aren't many bad seats to speak of! I was seated in the upper balcony, FF, 4 and feel I must warn people...beware! These 3 seats are really for the ushers and other employees. They are against the wall with an aisle IN FRONT of them. Needless to say, there was a constant stream of traffic blocking our view. I'm very disappointed I was not warned about this. Of course, one can not tell by looking at the seating chart on-line I would have bought tickets for the next night if I had known.
