Fox Fullerton Theatre, Italian Renaissance theater in Fullerton, United States.
The Fox Fullerton Theatre is an Italian Renaissance-style theater in Fullerton, California, designed to host both live performances and film screenings. It features a large main stage and an ornate interior with detailed decoration covering the walls and ceiling throughout the hall.
The theater was designed in 1925 by architect C. Stanley Chapman and first opened as Chapman's Alician Court Theatre. It later joined the Fox Theatres chain and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Fox Fullerton Theatre is known for its six large murals painted by Anthony Heinsbergen and Company in the 1920s. These works still cover the interior walls and are often the first thing visitors notice when they step inside.
The theater went through a major renovation and now meets modern accessibility standards with updated facilities throughout the building. Arriving early before an event is a good way to take in the decorated interior without the crowd.
When the theater opened in 1925, the complex included a tea room run by Alice Chapman, the architect's wife, as part of the visitor experience. This space was meant to make a trip to the theater into a social occasion that went beyond the show itself.
