On the East Side of the Square Across from the Little Theater A lot of folks have made the Red Fox their "before-and-after-theater" place. And why not, when before the play, you can unwind in the beautiful Tack Room, with your favorite cocktail and a sizzling Prime Steak. Or how about a delicious Barbecue Rib or Chicken dinner. . .straight from the famous Hickory Pit? And after the show, there's nothing like the Red Fox for a nightcap with friends. So make it a perfect evening. For a "curtain raiser", or a "curtain call" it's the Red Fox. Just look across the street.
