I just came across this website, and I’m happy to see that so many people are interested in reopening the Fox Theater and the progress that has been made. Fixing up the marquee is a big deal because nothing had been done to the theater in all the time I lived there since the time it was closed. Although I don’t live in WI anymore and the last time I visited Stevens Point was in 2002, I grew up there and went to the Fox Theater up until I was about 10 years old.
I think I saw Annie and maybe some Tom & Jerry cartoons there. I remember that the balcony was always closed and that there were bats that swooped down at us every so often. And it was really cold. I didn’t know at the time that it had to do with a dispute with the city, until now. While I lived in Stevens Point, I had always heard the rumor that the owner refused to do anything with the theater once it got closed but I never knew why until now. I didn’t like the mall when it first got built and even while I lived there, but since it did get built, there’s no reason why the owner shouldn’t try and do something with the theater and improve the downtown for the greater good of the community.
If the owner did pass way, I think the way to find out who’s the current owner is by looking the information up at the assessor’s office or the register of deeds for Portage County. That info usually is public information.
