The historic Fox Theatre’s philanthropic arm, Fox Gives, has announced the selection of four Georgia high schools for the 2026-27 All-Access Pass program. Cedartown High School, Cross Keys High School, New Manchester High School, and Rome High School will participate in the yearlong initiative, which provides students with opportunities to connect with industry professionals and explore careers in the arts and entertainment.
Program Details
The All-Access Pass program, launched in 2024, has engaged over 200 students across Georgia. It offers job-shadowing experiences, hands-on learning, production workshops, and mentorship opportunities. Students have had the chance to work with renowned organizations such as the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Disney’s The Lion King, and The Broadway League.
According to Leigh Burns, director of community partnerships at the Fox Theatre, the program aims to provide students with firsthand insight into the creative, technical, and operational roles that bring live entertainment to life. The program also recognizes outstanding participants through annual scholarships.
For example, Mike Leon Martinez of Pebblebrook High School received a $10,000 scholarship, and Olivia Bowen of Dalton High School received a $4,500 scholarship. Both students credited the program with helping them discover their career paths and gain a deeper understanding of the entertainment industry.
