𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧: Footprints at the Fox is a one-night-only event that seeks to showcase the choreographic talent of Ballet Tucson’s own company artists. Our dancers are given the opportunity to craft their own unique choreographic works for their fellow artists, with an emphasis on showcasing our Ballet Tucson Apprentices; giving you the chance to see our up-and-coming dancers demonstrate their skill and versatility in featured roles. This performance is also interactive, as attendees vote for their favorite piece. The winning choreographer gets to see their work performed on the mainstage as a part of our Spring Concert, March 22-24, 2024, at the Leo Rich Theater, Tucson Convention Center, Downtown Tucson.

𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧: From the first days of The Fox in the 1930s the children of Tucson gathered in the theatre every week for the Mickey Mouse Club. At a time of segregation, there was none for Mickey Mouse Club attendees. Discounted and free entry was offered to countless kids who couldn’t afford the 10-cent ticket, and many of the attendees got the chance to develop public speaking and performance skills on the theatre’s stage. The Fox was truly a home for ALL of Tucson’s youth from all walks of life.

Today, The Fox Tucson Theatre keeps that vision alive with the KITT (Kids In The Theatre) Youth Arts and Culture Program, providing  a wide range of uplifting and enriching youth-oriented programming:

• Public family shows
• School matinee shows
• Historic theatre tours for students
• Subsidized rentals for local youth performing arts groups
• Complimentary ticket distribution to youth rising above adversity
• Community literacy events
