"Severance" Films In Beacon's East End - Storefronts Are Dressed - Here's What We Know If you were walking past your favorite cafe down on the East End of town near Mt. Beacon and saw that it was called something else, your heart may have skipped a beat as you thought: “Oh no! Not another business moving out!” But this time it’s not another business moving out! It’s a film production coming to town. Dressing the storefronts in costume for the Apple TV+ produced show “Severance.” This production is the the real deal - it's a union gig employing set dressers, camera operators, etc. from NYC and elsewhere. Some locals have been able to slide into the gig as well. If you're one of them, send us a tip! Meanwhile, here's what we know. Read This > Live TV Streaming Saturday Nights, Then On Demand Limited Time Only Beaconite and singer Tara O’Grady has been busy since moving to Beacon from NYC after she survived her long battle with COVID-19 one year ago, which did weaken her voice, thereby canceling her singing career. Upon moving to Beacon, she searched around for new creative income opportunities. Since then, she has been selling her vintage clothing collection from the 1940s-1960s at Jaz On Main; as well as her 5 albums of jazz, blues and folk music; hosted a book signing for her memoir “Migrating Toward Happiness” at Draught; making music videos with collaborator  and film maker Jon Slackman of Five Corner Films; and this week, aired their first live-streamed TV show, “Howlin’ at the Howland," also created with Jon, currently streaming On Demand for limited time.

Hyacinths may be emerging from the ground, but well-seasoned locals know that snow could fall on those soon to be blooming magnolia trees one last time, thereby killing the beautiful bloom. Will it happen this year? Tune in to the weather outside to find out! While licking ice-cream out at a park or picnic table.
