Event Details: Join your fellow APT members for a guided behind the scenes tour of the historic Fox Theater. During the tour, you will step back in time to the golden era of the movie palace at the Fabulous Fox Theater!
The theater was originally planned as part of a large Shrine Temple as evidenced by its Moorish design. The 4,665-seat auditorium was ultimately developed as a lavish movie theater in the Fox Theatres chain and opened in 1929. It hosts a variety of cultural and artistic events including the Atlanta Ballet, a summer film series, and performances by national touring companies and popular artists. See why the city of Atlanta cried out to Save the Fox! from the wrecking ball in the 1970s and fall in love with the theater under a canopy of stars!
We will meet at 10:45 a.m. at the Peachtree Street entrance in front of the box office. Our tour begins promptly at 11:00 a.m. and lasts approximately one hour.
Following the tour, enjoy an optional lunch (and maybe an afternoon cocktail) with your friends at the Publik Draft House, with choices like shrimp & grits, chicken pot pie, and biscuits & gravy!
Cost: $20 for the Fox tour; lunch on your own tab.
Please bring $20 cash or a cheque made out to Atlanta Prime Timers the day of the event. If you register for this event and do not show up or cancel by June 9, you will be obligated to pay the $20 admission fee.
