Fox Theater Tucson AZ

The theater has been restored by the Fox Theater Foundation whose main purpose was to restore the theater and give it back to the community of Tucson. It needed to be restored as the theater dates back to August of 1929. It was originally designed to be a movie house but was fully furnished with a stage for shows and dancing along with dressing rooms etc. The Fox Theater back in its days was one of the only special attractions and entertainment venues of the small community and now its heritage value is what makes it such an attraction.
