Beacon Theatre was designed by Fred Bishop, the same architect as the Byrd in Richmond. Built in 1928 by the Knights of Pythias it began as a silent movie and Vaudeville show palace. Stars such as Sally Rand, (famous burlesque dancer); Lash LaRue, Cowboy performer who taught Harrison Ford how to crack a whip performed in the Beacon in the 1930′s-1940′s. In the 1950′s-1970′s, The Beacon was primari

ly a movie house. Many of the young and old alike of Hopewell met their sweethearts for date night. During that time there were many attempts to breath life back into the old theater, however none were successful until 1999. A group of citizens with the help of the City were able to complete Phase 1 to stabilize the decline and open event space. However, restoring more was beyond the funds available. In 2011, the project was returned to the City of Hopewell. City Council took action to finish the project in time for the centennial celebration of Hopewell in 2015. Their goal was to restore the Beacon to play a major role in the cultural and recreational life of the area. By 2012 a restoration design for the Theater and backstage was complete and renovation began. As a historic building the Theater was eligible for historic tax credits which will return funding to the overall investment of $4.2 million.

The Players, featuring Keith Howland and Jeff Coffey of the band Chicago, return to The Beacon Theatre Wednesday September 16th!!! Get your tickets now at beaconvashows.com. Check out the band at https://www.theplayers.band.

Keith Howland served as lead guitarist and occasional lead vocalist with Chicago for 27 years and was the longest tenured guitarist in the band’s history. Jeff Coffey, bassist and tenor vocalist extraordinaire, became Chicago’s lead singer in 2016. Effortlessly singing all those great Peter Cetera hits that everyone knows and loves, made him a perfect fit to carry on the legacy of one of the greatest voices in rock history. One of the brightest spots of Keith and Jeff’s time with the band was sharing the stage with the great Earth, Wind, and Fire on a sold out arena tour where both bands would share the stage for a 6 song encore that always brought the house down! Keith and Jeff, who had become fast friends during their time together with Chicago, decided to form a new band called “The Players” which brings a blend of classic Chicago hits, grooving Earth Wind and Fire tunes, as well as a few choice favorites from that same era. Surrounded by an all-star band featuring Rob Arthur (Peter Frampton) on keys/vocal, Ed Toth (Doobie Brothers) on drums, and a smokin’ 3 piece horn section, “The Players” is a legacy act, featuring 2 former high profile members of Chicago, bringing you the songs and the energy just as they did as key members of the band.
