Please keep ALL comments to yourself, this site was closed because of the back biting and the flaming that was being said, i want this site to be productive, all comments here are about a company, they are not about the true theater, please respect what i and Cinema Treasures had posted, thank you.
Thank you Larry, its been quite a ordeal from those folks over at “Grande Venues' a tough way to learn something but i did. I try hard to keep the good work going and enjoy many a nice people i have met because of it, here’s to you and yours!
The Lawford Theater is open still being run by Mr. Brennan still paying rents to the owner of the theater, this theater will not engage in any more comments made by or from GVI,You need only to read all the comments above, do a internet search on Grande Venues (Mike Novelli or Paul Warshauer) to know what the truth is. You can also call the theater at any time and find out that Mr Brennan still runs the theater and pays rent/lease to Mr. Mcarthy.
We also keep documents relating to them (GVI vacating the theater)
Again thanks for all that has been done for the theater and may God bless.
Please keep derogitory comments to yourself, this forum is not for that, rents are current with the owner Frank MCarthy, reciepted by the owner also. The Lawford is in possession of there signed eviction notice (Grande Venues) I am sorry that GVI wants to keep making comments that can be proven otherwise, You need but to call the owner and the Lawford,., Mr Brennan is still there, still operating the theater and current with the owner of the Theater, GVI was evicted, thanks again all, have a good day :)
Lawford Theater Update 03-05-06 GVI Paul and Mike are no LONGER leasing or have any dealings with the theater. The owner let them ‘go’. The theater can now continue to go forward. I want to thank each and every one of you who has emailed me for support and comments.
There were issues that had developed with current leases that are no longer problems , there are issues, with 2 different companies that are being resolved thru legal means, the theater is now seperate from those issues, and will continue to operate and supply the community films and shows, thanks for all the letters recieved in my email from those that support the Lawford and those that had concerns and opiones of the past people,
For the right person it was ava;iable, since there were ‘factors’ onvolved that are no longer a part of the theater (the old leases) GVI, then the theater can once again run and not have the problems associated with that company, we all are happy, and the towns newspapers and government support the current owner, thank you for responding and have a good day!
The Lawford Theater is once again, doing good and is being renovated each and every day, the crowds are up, the people are enjoying again the only theater on town and are proud of it, see the news papers from around the area, you will see what good is happening at the Lawford!
This Paul person reall derserves jail time, he always has and always wll take peoples money and he has been sued so many times, do a check on him on the net, he has outstanding judgements against him and his scams has increased, we all need to make sure as much information about him is out there, then that way people can see all the facts and act accordingly, that way, we cannot say that it was not there. please do as much due diligence as you can on Grande Venues, Paul and Mike, it can save you many many headaches and money
After talking with Ron, we both mis understood each other, i was worried because of what mike and paul from GVI did to this town and its people, ron and i will continue to talk and we still might continue with negotiations, ron is a respectful guy.
The theatre here is a well designed theatre, When we took it over, there were many many items we had to replace, we have replaced, lamphouse’s, projectors, screen, speakers, sound equiptment, and more, what a job this has been but it sure has been worth it!
These kinds of theaters are thw ones worth saving, i hope to see more of them someday in the cities where they are at!
Wecan go back and forth, he wanted this and wanted that, his money has never been excepted, he could not from what he said go more then any amount over 25k so i chose not to sell it, its a good theatre, i dont believe he can run it, simple truth, i have chosen not to sell it, and have never taken a dime from him. He can always yell and scream, and carry on but again no money has been taken, and he will not buy it.
The problem with this person is: i have never taken any money from him, its never been excepted, and when he could not come up with additional monies, it took him out of the loop, thanks though for posting.
Yes, it had a troubled past, that is for sure, and most of every comment here is about people, not the theatre, this is nothing more then a forum' for saying things against people, which is not what the site is about, as i did say, you can come here, look over the figures which are based on fact,the problem with your post was, the figures charged was wrong, the showing of how many films per day or weekend was wrong, not based apon fact, there has always been since we aquired this theatre at least 2 films per day including weekends, until this week when we show Harry Potter which is a 2 week run by itself, good luck to you,
This person that wrote the above statement “m' is not correct in most that they wrote, this will be the only post as we dont want to ‘join’ in all the mumbo jumbo thats been written here about folks, the Lawford is open, after spending 18k to redo it for the town, its doing good, with double shows most weekends, twice nightly sometimes, bands on mondays and tuesdays, its doing good again, am proud that we are trying to give Havana the theatre they used to have, all you guys and gals that only use the forems to knock people over the head, go ahead, as Clint Eastwood said "Go Ahead, Make My Day”
