Fox Theater (Tucson)

The Fox Theater is located at 17 West Congress in Downtown Tucson, Arizona. The theater, which opened on April 11, 1930 as a performance space in downtown Tucson, and hosts a variety of performing talent, ranging from ballets, to contemporary pop and rock acts.

The Fox, originally to be called "The Tower", was Built in 1929 by Nicholas Diamos for his Southern Arizona "Lyric Amusement" chain of theaters. The Diamos family story tells us this about the history: "Before the Tower theater's completion, Fox offered to buy the theater. If Nicholas would not sell to Fox, Fox said they would build a larger theater across the street, and cut distribution of their films. It was an offer Nicholas could not refuse, and so he sold the theater to Fox. Fox agreed to have the Diamos brothers manage the theater".
