Beacham Theater
== History ==
Beacham Theater, is a historic venue in the city of Orlando, Florida. Its current address is 46 North Orange Avenue. The theater was built by Braxton Beacham Sr. at the site of the former jail for Orange County. Beacham bought the property at the southwest corner of Orange Ave. and Washington St. in 1917. The jail was torn down and he developed a series of connected buildings known as the "Beacham Block." On December 9, 1921 Orlando's premier vaudeville and movie house opened as the Beacham Theatre. Beacham's air-conditioned theater was leased to the Sparks Theater Company in 1922. Vitaphone and Movietone sound system "talkie" equipment was added in 1928 and by 1933 Florida State Theaters had taken over the lease. The Beacham Theater ceased operations as a movie theater in 1975 and briefly became franchises of The Great Southern Music Hall and Reynolds Celebrity Dinner Theater. The Beacham Theater was granted local historic landmark status on September 21, 1987.
The Beacham as it is currently named, has operated as a series of nightclubs and was once home to the legendary late-night underground club Aahz. With beginnings during the Second Summer of Love in the the United Kingdom, the all-night dance parties held at the Beacham Theatre featured New Beat, Progressive dance and House Music. Those nights at the Beacham kick-started Orlando's own summer of love between 1991 and 1992 and inspired the "Orlando Sound" and the Florida breaks movement, boosting the careers of numerous DJs and producers that helped usher in the popularity of electronic dance music in the United States.
