Explosive Exposition Against the FOX Theater

By Donald Herman Collins Gallegos

The FOX Theater opened in January 2010. The City of Riverside hired William P. Malone as operational manager. 

Malone: A bad choice by
the City. His smile in the
photo is deceiving: He's
a rude and stupid person.

Malone has tried three ways in two-and-a-half year to bring live theater to the FOX in vain. First, the Nederlander Operations resigned for who knows why. Then a contract was made with McCoy-Rigby Productions. This Company proposed a 2012-2013 season to Malone, but he didn't respond to McCoy-Rigby. (Typical of the arrogance and stupidity of Malone's way of operation.)

Recently, Malone announced his own season at a City Council meeting (receiving a very cold reception.) McCoy-Rigby Productions expired days ago.

This type of dismissive behavior by Malone has been experienced by the local press, residents, and extends to his business associates. Malone's mismanaging of the FOX theater has cost Riverside taxpayers thousands of dollars. Many residents (and the press) look forward to the end of Malone's reign as operational manager of the FOX.

The City has not extended Malone's contract beyond 2013. Perhaps then McCoy-Rigby Productions can have another opportunity at the FOX under new management.

The FOX audience were delighted with Cathy Rigby starring in the Peter Pan Production and became disappointed when Tom McCoy was told by Malone that their contract was not going to be renewed.

Malone's contract was renewed twice by the City, despite his operational shortcomings and rude treatment to all. The FOX has been a total fiasco under the operation of William P. Malone.
