ANNUAL EVENTS
Dates are TBD for the next year, but the following events usually happen during this month:
I Am Beacon’s 5K Run (always the morning of Spirit of Beacon Day)
Lolo’s Boyfriend Show
Days: Thursdays September 3rd and 17th, 2026
Time: 7pm
Location: Savage Wonder, 139 Main Street, Beacon, NY
Lolo’s Boyfriend Show is an irreverent, soul-baring solo performance following Lolo as a dream European tour unravels, sending her back to suburbia to confront love, loss, and a trail of unforgettable exes. After her punk cabaret tour collapses, Lolo returns home, surrounded by the ghosts of past relationships—from The Yogi to The Addict to The Cowboy. A promising new romance sparks a deeper reckoning, as she navigates heartbreak, identity, and the possibility of a different kind of happiness.
This bold and cathartic performance blends humor, vulnerability, and sharp storytelling into one unforgettable night. Winner of the ICI Audience Choice Award at the Edinburgh Fringe, shortlisted for Best Production, and featured Off-Broadway at Playhouse 46.
