The Fox Tucson Theatre had it’s Grand Re-opening on New Year’s Eve 2005. Newspaper article from Arizona Daily Star at www.azstarnet.com ‘Tucson Region’ Section, Article: ‘Reopening Night’ published January 1, 2006.
The Fox was originally built by the Lyric Amusement Company as a Vaudeville and Movie Venue. Southwestern Deco, Pueblo Deco Architecture by Eugene Durfee. Grand opening April 11, 1930 featured the first movie shown at the Fox: “Chasing Rainbows” featuring Jack Benny. Closing Date: June 18, 1974 Grand Re-opening Gala: December 31, 2005, performance by Bruce Hornsby. To be installed Summer 2006: 3,500 pipe Wurlitzer Theatre Organ. Original seating of 1,316 has been reduced to 1,200 to accomodate wider seating, sunken tech booth, and wheelchair access. The Fox has 40,000SQFT with a 40'x24' stage and 15' wings. Combination of JBL Line array sound system and original “Acoustone” auditorium walls create very excellent sound quality and acoustics for amplified performances and filmed entertainment. The restored and newly named ‘First Magnus Auditorium’ also has perfect acoustics for the spoken word and live unamplified performance. This bodes well for the introduction of the Wurlitzer Theatre Organ Summer 2006. Unobstructed sightlines provide perfect views from every seat, and the Balcony Loge Loveseats are probably the most comfortable and romantic best seats in the house of any theatre venue in the world. Progamming at the restored Fox includes live performance (theatre, music, dance). Children’s programming; Cinema, including Film Festivals, Classic Film, locally produced movies, re-releases. Corporate and Community Events, meetings, and fund-raisers available. Public Tours available upon request by contacting Administration Offices.
