The Beacon, a 1930’s art deco theatre in Beacon, NY, is home to 4th Wall Productions, presenting a broad spectrum of live entertainment for the Mid-Hudson Valley.


4th Wall has been presenting live theatre in the Hudson Valley since 1994 and purchased the theatre at 445 Main Street, Beacon  in 2010. The Robert A. McAlpine Grand Foyer Theatre opened to the public on Thursday, June 9, 2011.  The energy for this live performance space was embraced by family, friends and the Beacon community at large with a successful kick-off weekend of live improv comedy.


Programs include comedy and concerts, art openings, performing arts classes,  children’s programming, and much, much more.

THEATRE PERFORMANCE CLASSES


My mother always said she knew I was a dancer when I was still in her womb. She could feel me reacting to music in the world I had yet to encounter firsthand. But the music was able to reach where nothing else was able to. Growing up, I could move to the beat of the turn signal or a leaky faucet. Fortunately for me, my mother brought me to dance class; a wonderful place with large mirrors and all that amazing empty space and so much better than a supermarket aisle where I previously practiced my art. I was home. There I learned how to walk, run, leap, twirl, and land effortlessly. Sometimes there were taps on my shoes, sometimes a lambswool pad, but this sacred place is where I learned to carry myself “like a dancer.” I also found my people - other dancers who simply had to dance.


So to be a well-rounded theater, we must offer dance. Dance for those who simply must dance, those who want better posture, more strength, greater flexibility, and those who want to learn an artistic discipline.


Under the tutelage of Katie Bissinger, we will offer ballet, dance for musical theater, and tap for all ages and all experience levels. Katie, like me, simply must dance. Her passion for dance goes past a classroom and onto a stage. She wants to teach her students how to be dancers. Taking dance class is very different from being a dancer. Dancers take what they learn in front of the mirror and perform for those sitting in an audience.


Along with a full compliment of acting and voice classes for students of all ages, this is the dance you will experience upstairs at Studio B at The Beacon.


- Christine Vittorini, Artistic Director, The Beacon


Class descriptions and registration can be found on the Studio B page. For more information, please call 845.226.8099 or show up 10 minutes before each class starts.
