Fox Tucson Theatre, Art Deco theatre in downtown Tucson, United States.

The Fox Tucson Theatre is a performance venue in downtown Tucson combining Art Deco style with Spanish Colonial Revival details like curved walls and ornamental ceiling work. Its auditorium accommodates around 1,200 guests and features intricate decorative moldings throughout the space.

The Diamos family built it in 1929 for their Lyric Amusement chain, originally naming it The Tower before selling to Fox, which kept them on as managers. It opened on April 11, 1930, with Congress Street closed and waxed for dancing, four live bands and a radio broadcast. It closed on June 18, 1974, stood empty for 25 years, and the Fox Tucson Theatre Foundation bought it in 1999 for $250,000. A six-year, $13 million rehabilitation ended with reopening on December 31, 2005.

The Fox opened in 1930 with Congress Street closed and waxed for dancing, four live bands and a live radio broadcast; 3,000 people attended. Its Mickey Mouse Club chapter was open to all Tucson children, but other programming was segregated, with African American patrons seated in the back balcony. Today the stage hosts ballet, jazz, pop, world music and rock.

The theatre seats 1,200 and sits at 17 W. Congress Street in downtown Tucson, where Congress Street was closed and waxed for dancing on opening night in 1930. Programming covers dance, theatre, music, film, children's activities and private corporate rentals, so check the calendar before travelling to a performance.

The auditorium's acoustic treatment, called 'Acoustone', was developed for the arrival of talking pictures and is the only known example of the material in existence. The building is also cited as the only known Southwestern Art Deco movie palace. Its 2005 reopening followed a six-year, $13 million rehabilitation.
