Fox Tucson Theatre clears big hurdle in expansion plans

For Star subscribers: The Fox Foundation bought more than $2 million in neighboring properties to add 20,000 square feet to the historic theater's operating space.

Cathalena E. Burch Fox Theatre Foundation this week took a major leap forward with plans to expand the historic Fox Tucson Theatre to include more lobby space and room for events, dining and entertainment.

People are also reading… “This is one step … but it’s a major one," said Fox Tucson Theatre Executive Director Bonnie Schock."We now begin the work to really bring this idea to life." But it could be early 2024 before actual work can begin, starting with the demolition of the existing structures; the Stone Avenue facades, however, will remain. Fox officials are still researching the facades' historical significance, but Schock said they understand the facades are contributing properties to the downtown historic district and must, therefore, be preserved.

Ideally, they would like to reopen somewhere downtown, but so far they've come up empty on finding a suitable space, Wilson said. Wilson said the couple's bread and butter comes from downtown government employees, who regularly stop into the store for grab-and-go sandwiches, the salad bar and with other snacks. Business dropped during the pandemic, when workers were forced to stay home, but picked up when workers returned in 2021, he said.
