During the last 30 years, the theater has been totally unavailable to the public. For the first time in all
those years, the theatre is finally open and the public is elated. Several times a day, drop-in's come in
and are filled with nostalgia as they remember their youth, smoking in the balcony, or snuggling with
their date, or hanging out with the guys. Redlanders are thrilled to be reunited with their beloved
theatre.
The Fox was built in a Spanish Colonial Revival style and maintains its integrity in the lobbies upstairs
and downstairs, which were lovingly restored. The “Ballroom” is now a banquet facility with crystal and
wrought iron chandeliers, specialty lighting, with an acoustically superior sound system. The room is
draped with red velvet and gold with draped mirrors and the original praesidium.
The downstairs seating was all removed and the floor was leveled and turned into a ballroom that
seats 350 people comfortably and 700 standing for concerts. McLean & Penner, the owners worked
to install a commercial kitchen and dish washing room and draped the ballroom with fabulous red
velvet.
Presently, they have several network marketing companies meeting here regularly, as well as two
church groups. In addition, they are now being booked regularly for weddings and wedding
receptions, birthday parties for all ages, class reunions, high school dances and every first Tuesday
from 7-10 pm, they have Open Mic Jazz Sessions. Furthermore, they have musical events like Elvis
By Marlon, Irish Singer, Jazz, Blues, Blue Grass, & Rock n Roll bands, Comedy Nights, Fundraisers,
Fashion Shows, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, Quinceaneras, Film Festival, and soon, Suzanne will be starting a
Seminar Series that will include tips on interpersonal communication skills.
Now, it is the business of Suzanne & Martin (Owners), David Strausberger (Specialty Lighting &
Sound, Event Design Lab), & Chef, Heshmat Moghaddam , who are presently your event planners.
Suzanne & Martin furnished it lavishly with red velvet settees, Victorian chairs, and comfortable
seating upstairs, adding the stunning crystal chandeliers in the ballroom.
Suzanne also personally meets with you to plan each and every detail of your event being respectful
of your budget.
David works individually with each client to satisfy their specialty lighting requests and to acquaint you
with our acoustically superior sound and design your room with a 3D software program to your
specific design to be viewed on a 42" screen. This includes your lighting, colors, and configuration of
the room..
In addition our in-house culinary consultant Heshmat will custom design your food choices,
with private consultations and food tasting to finalize your desires, including succulent appetizers,
ethnic and American dishes, and even the wedding cake and specialty desserts.
We welcome you to come and take a tour of the Historic Fox Theatre at 123 Cajon, and take a

musicians and breathe in the air of Redland's history. We await your visit.

The Redlands Fox was built in 1927 and
opened officially on December 28, 1928 with
celebrities in attendance from Hollywood.
The film shown at the time was Laurel &
Hardy in “Habeas Corpus“. Also, “Naughty
Baby” starring Alice White and Jack Mulhall
and Vaudeville shows were featured there.
Shortly thereafter, the silent movies started
with the Wurlitzer organ in place. Then the
talkies began and the Fox went through
many changes. The biggest change was to
a multi-plex cinema. In the 40’s, the
backstage of the theatre was walled out to
make 2 multiplex cinemas and the original
theatre was no more.
