Congratulations WGT. Those of us familiar with the venue know it is the best but it is gratifying to have everyone else recognize the fact. The Wheaton Grand is an awesome place and deserves to get the recognition. I have been there many times throught the years and am really excited that the restoration is beginning.
Will there be any chances for the public to get involved with the resotration process? I would love to be a part of the process. I don’t have large sums of money to donate but am willing to invest as much time and energy as I can.
Mr Warshauer: Why is it that you resort to name calling when someone disagrees with your point of view? If you “love” old theatres so much why are you trying everything in your power to make sure that the Grand will never become the showplace it deserves to be?
I feel sorry for you. It must be hard to see that someone else is now succeeding in moving forward for restoration of the Grand. You are not a part of it and that is what really makes you the way you are. You are like a child who decides that if they can’t have something then no one can. Please do us all a favor and stay off this site and keep your petty grievences for “court” We on this page are excited about the resotration plans and will do everything we can to HELP not hinder these efforts.
I thought we had heard the end of GVI’s (Mr. Warshauer)ravings but it appears that they can’t leave well enough alone. Two of the three counts in his lawsuit were found to not have enough evidence to go to trial. That says a lot.
For their part the GTC has not commented on this website. They are taking the high road. As all people with the truth on their side usually do. They don’t need to try and put out propaganda as it seems GVI does.
My mother always said “the truth will out” and I am glad to see that so far that has been true. She also said, “what goes around comes around”. I can only hope that will turn out to be true for GVI as well and that they will have to pay the consequences for their actions.
Congratulations to the Wheaton Grand for an outstanding run of exciting music shows. From “The Addicts” all the way thru to the hugely successful Spitalfield show and thru last weekend’s unplugged and Rock Shows. It has been really great to see so many people come to support the Theatre.
The new configuration has really opened up the venue and made it more comfortable. Thanks for all the hard work and keep doing what you’re doing, it is great.
I have met you on more than one occasion and have read a lot more information about you and your “work”. You have provided no record of your completed projects so how can we judge?
I am not attacking you personally (like you did, calling me a liar) just providing facts. Unless you have been at the theatre and actively involved recently, you have no idea what you are talking about.
1.) The annual meeting was not held in a “bunker like environment”. It was held in a public place for anyone to attend. You were not there and if your “sources” gave you this information I would consider getting new ones.
2.) I attended some of the “programming”(if you want to call it that) that GVI did during its tenure. It was lackluster and boring at best.
3.) The building is safe, it has been certified more than once.
4.) I know Steve Rathje and if you expect me to believe he cried and asked you to help him “take back” the theatre, you are even more deluded than I thought.
5.) You can’t even pay your legal judgements so how are you going to payback the $25K gain? Not with donations this time.
6.) Finally, I would NEVER join with GVI for any reason. You have been accused of lying, cheating, fraud other unsavory behaviors without providing any proof to the contrary.
You are the one who needs to open your eyes. You are not wanted at the Grand.
I am surprised you think so Paul. This article shows what a conniving, greedy, loser you are. You will never take over the Grand because good people (the current board) will triumph over the lowest of the low.
I agree with Steve Rathje, “boys just go away”. You have showed no love for the Grand and certainly have not produced any credentials regarding any other theatre restorations that you have accomplished.
Don’t you ever get tired of making a fool of yourself. You need to grow up and move on. The Grand is doing GREAT without you.
Shut up. You provide no facts and figures to back up your “successes” only bluster that you indeed have them. Produce cold hard facts instead of impuning other peoples reputations.
Unless you want to get serious and answer the questions asked of you then stay off this message board. You are not now nor will you ever be involved with the theatre again, despite your delusional thinking that you will somehow be “given” the theatre as settlement of your frivolous lawsuit. So stop with your sour grapes and move on.
Congratulations to the Wheaton Grand for its historic registry listing and for the lovely dedication held on Saturday, September 10th. I was able to stop by and listen to the statement from the mayor, and others, about the project. It is good to know that the city is behind the restoration being planned. The photo and artifact display inside was beautifully done and really helped me get a sense of what could be done.
WGT, I will be watching this forum (as well as the Wheaton Grand Website) to see upcoming events and find out what I can do to help with this very exciting project. Congratulations again and keep up the good work.
Again with the lawsuits Paul, that seems to be your answer to everything. Once again you prove the point that everyone on this site is trying to make. You simply will not take responsibilty for anything, it is always someone elses fault.
I am grateful to “disgruntled” for coming forward to give the Wheaton Grand community further insight into the kind of business person you have been.
No Paul, what you are is a con man plain and simple. Ther is no need to “hound” your other partners because they are not trying to take over the Wheaton Grand, you are.
The behavior I have read attributed to you in print,is nothing less than criminal. I was raised to believe that you should treat others as you would like to be treated. Following that rule you must not like to be treated fairly, with respect or even honestly. When someone has as many things against them as you do I find it hard to believe that everyone else is out to get you and that you are blameless.
Move on Paul, leave the Wheaton Grand to flourish and concentrate on the “misinformation” as you call it. Clearing all that up will surely keep you busy for quite a long time.

I know enough, perhaps more than you can imagine.
I have met you on more than one occasion and have read a lot more information about you and your “work”. You have provided no record of your completed projects so how can we judge?
I am not attacking you personally (like you did, calling me a liar) just providing facts. Unless you have been at the theatre and actively involved recently, you have no idea what you are talking about.
The Grand is moving forward why don’t you.
Once again, you are wrong.
1.) The annual meeting was not held in a “bunker like environment”. It was held in a public place for anyone to attend. You were not there and if your “sources” gave you this information I would consider getting new ones.
2.) I attended some of the “programming”(if you want to call it that) that GVI did during its tenure. It was lackluster and boring at best.
