The Fox Theatre announced that it is now accepting applications from Atlanta-area high schools for the 2026-2027 All-Access Pass program.

The educational initiative, which serves as a staple of the theater’s philanthropic arm Fox Gives, offers local students the opportunity to explore potential careers in the performing arts.

Started in 2024, the annual program connects high school juniors and seniors with industry professionals, providing them with hands-on experiences and mentorship through a variety of roles — from theater operations and production to performing on the stage.

“All-Access Pass opens the door for students to explore the world of theater and live production from the inside,” said Fox Gives Director of Community Partnerships Leigh Burns. “By connecting them with professionals and giving them an up-close look at how a live production comes together, students begin to see how their interests and talents can translate into fulfilling careers.”

In addition to the immersive experiences, the initiative also provides the students with a complimentary ticket to a Broadway performance during the academic year, a number of informative presentations and discussions, as well as a $7,500 for one participant to “support continued education and a future career in the performing arts,” said a press release.

The program is open to Georgia public Title I high schools located within a 150-mile radius of Atlanta that have active performing arts programs. 

Applications are due by May 8, 2026, and can be submitted through the Fox Theatre website.
