The Fox Tucson Theatre originally opened in 1930 as a movie palace designed by architectural firm Lescher & Mahoney. It operated as a cinema until 1978, after which it fell into disrepair. A significant restoration project, led by the Fox Tucson Theatre Foundation, was completed in 2016, revitalizing the venue as a performing arts center. The theatre’s design features Art Deco and Spanish Colonial Revival styles.

Today, the Fox Tucson Theatre hosts a diverse range of events including concerts, comedy shows, dance performances and classic film screenings. It is recognized as a landmark building within downtown Tucson and serves as an important cultural hub for Southern Arizona.
