Currently considering going back to one screen. Still working on keeping the building solid and sound. New roof project completed this summer. For those of you that still show an interest in the Fox, THANKS!
With the support of Fort Madison Main Street and Main Street Iowa, we have received a grant and we will start restoration of the marquee in the spring of 2012. In addition we will be doing additional roof repairs.
Thanks to all for your continued interest in the Fox Theater.
If you are interested in seeing the Fox inside and out, please feel free to look at an electronic tour that I have built by using the attached link.
We have had the Fox Theater open for the past 15 months. We have owned the Fox for the past 7 years. After supporting the Fox for those many years without any outside financial support we finally realized it is time for a change. For the Fox to be the “lynchpin” you reference, the community needs to step in and help. A non-profit 501-C3 organization line the Main Street group would be a option. If you would like to know what is really happening with the Fox, please ask.
The Fox Theater, Fort Madison, Iowa is open for business. “Iron Man” will be playing with a special midnight showing on May 7(real early morning Friday). The Fox has a 24 hour show line (319)372-0303 and in addition a web page www.fortmadisonmovies.com offering movie and theater information. We will also be showing “The Last Song” this weekend.
Please stop by and see us if you are in town…..
