The Fabulous Fox to Commemorate Stan Kann’s 100th Birthday

The Fabulous Fox will present a FREE special event scheduled for Sunday, December 8, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. to celebrate what would have been Stan Kann’s 100th birthday. In honor of the beloved theatre organist and entertainer, the Fabulous Fox will host a FREE organ concert on the legendary Mighty Wurlitzer. Memorabilia and ephemera will be displayed in the theatre, along with a slide show and videos screened in the lobby offering further glimpses into Stan’s fascinating story.
 
FREE tickets are available now by calling (314) 534-1111, online at fabulousfox.com or in person at the box office – check the website for hours of operation. Tickets will also be available the day of the show at the brass ticket booth in front of the theatre on Grand. Due to high demand, and to accommodate more guests for the celebration, tours of the theatre will no longer be included as originally scheduled.
 
The organ concert will feature Gerry Marian, who served as Stan Kann’s assistant for ten years, along with Mark Gifford, another organist that knew Stan well. Guests can look forward to an engaging performance that pays tribute to Stan Kann’s extraordinary legacy as one of the most iconic performers on the Fabulous Fox’s Mighty Wurlitzer.

Free parking will be offered at the Fabulous Fox parking garage at 3637 Washington Boulevard as well as Fox owned surface lots. Fans will have the opportunity to take home some of Stan’s memorabilia & fan art (first come, first served, while supplies last).
