FOX IN A BOX, THE FOX THEATRE

Fox in a Box is a free, interactive school program that focuses on how important events in the Fox Theatre’s timeline intersect with key classroom lessons, from American history and the Civil Rights Movement to economics and historic preservation, and the importance of community building. This interactive presentation tells the Fox Theatre’s story, from inception to current day, using historic and modern images, videos, music and dialogue. Student activities include creative drawing, trivia, matching, math problems and a crossword puzzle. A comprehensive Teacher Guide is also available to connect the exhibit’s content to current Georgia Performance Standards and contextual history. There are two versions of Fox in a Box. The in-person version is available for metro Atlanta elementary students and includes an interactive discussion, multimedia presentations, historic and modern images and video content. Grade-appropriate student activity materials are provided and can be delivered or downloaded at no charge. Since 2014, this version has supported education in over 189 metro Atlanta elementary schools and over

37,750 children and nearly 2,124 educators have participated.

The virtual version is available for Georgia’s elementary students, and the experience is a 20-minute recorded version of the same content as the in-person offering. Since 2021, the virtual version of Fox in a Box has been shared with over 62 schools and 59 homeschool families, including more than 15,950 students and 1,500 educators.
