DescriptionThe transformation of the Riverside Fox Theater, one of the city’s most revered landmarks, is underway. On May 3, 2007, after more than 1,300 visitors took one final tour through the auditorium, the Fox Theater closed its doors for the 18-month construction period. This historic structure will be reinvented as a state-of-the-art performing arts theater for Riverside and the Inland Empire. City staff is working closely with Bayley Construction and R.F. McCann Architects to complete the project. The design calls for adaptations and additions on all three levels of the Fox Theater to include an expanded stage, new stage floor, seats, lighting, a restored decorative ceiling and a refurbished lobby. Once completed, the Fox will boast a 1,600-seat performing arts theater that captures the original grandeur of the 1929 building, with updated amenities for patron enjoyment and comfort.
