Fox Theatre Gets $5M Boost for Expansion

Fox Tucson Theatre is getting a major upgrade with a $5 million gift from Hughes Federal Credit Union to build a new event center right next door — part of a $26.6 million expansion plan to transform downtown into a premier performing arts and community hub. The new Hughes Center will anchor Stone Avenue, offering expanded space for shows, classes, and events, while boosting educational programs and community engagement. With this pledge, the campaign is halfway to its goal — and Hughes is challenging others to contribute $100K+ by 2026 to finish strong. Once complete, the complex is projected to draw over 150K visitors annually, injecting $18M into the local economy each year. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
