Fox Theatre

If anyone checks out the video and book let me know how it is and if it’s worth reading/watching post here or email me.

This is Ed Wilke I posted the Fox.

I’ve got some pics (though not very good)…. what is your email address?

It was in the Stevens Point Journal about a couple weeks ago that the marquee renovations were expected to be done by the parade, and that that we might see the marquee switch on with the rest of the lights downtown.

The sign and marquee were up and running tonight during the Christmas Parade. Actually, they went on simultaneously when Mayor Westcott turned on the holiday lights on Main Street. The theatre was certainly a sight to see tonight – it’s been a long time in coming!

really, that’s interesting. i apologize for that. try this e-mail address: bschm775 (at) uwsp (dot) edu. i should get it there. The shining would definately be on the list of movies to show. good idea.

I need to know from everyone on here if anyone would be interested in helping my campaign to open this theater again. I’ve been posting on this board for a couple years now about the Fox Theater. Things have been kinda rolling here on my end and I need all the help I can get. I need members for a board and all the help I can get to back me up before next year. Anyone that is interested in donating or helping to contact Bryon Schmitz ().

I have had nothing but praise and support from many people in pursuing this theater. The theater will be restored to it’s original concept and will show movies with special engagements. Most likely film festivals, children events and like i said special engagements. That’s my hopes and dreams, so any help would be very helpful. I am not in this alone. Thank you for your time and reading everyone.

i think if its opened at all it should be kept just for tours if theres enough left of it to tour or turn it into a theater where they show the old movies and you gotta sit in the old seats and keep it totally natural as long as the place is structuraly sound…

im 16 at spash in stevens point and ive been very interested in the place since i was just a little guy, even then years after it was closed… its a shame they tore part of it out for the worthless mall and chained the place up…even today sometimes i find myself stopping and looking thru th e windows and dreaming… if a serious public project went up to restore the place i would donate in a heart beat, also thanks ken mc for the link… im taking all the photos and documentation i can find and making a website on the theater so either way at least photos and memories of it survive, and if any one on here is old enough to have had detailed memories of it i would love to put them in the site when it goes up,

I would love to hear any memories of the fox theater from anyone who’s been there also would love to see new pictures. everytime I go by there I wonder if there is anything left inside or what the inside looks like at this very minute.

thank you very much for posting this information. some very helpful information. some steps have been taken recently and hopefully in the near future we will have a beautifully renovated theater dated back to the 1920’s again. Thanks!

i have the owners information but honestly i don’t know how to go about doing this. the theater is abandoned and it’s smaller from what i’ve been reading. you can e-mail me: i would love to get something going on this and see what i can do. i know i have some support from the mayor and some other people in the area.
