This is needed for Wharton it’s a beautiful theater program, it has helped a numerous amount of talented children. God bless the family & I hope this goes through to help the grief of losing such an amazing human being.

As a Wharton alumni and former student of Mr. Warren, I know the substantial impact that he’s had on so many in the community. From students, to peers, and the next generation of theater teachers, Mr. Warren’s memory should continue in the space that he grew with multiple generations. Please consider this nominal tribute to such a significant person.

He was the greatest teacher I ever had. He didn’t just teach theater, he taught life. His legacy should absolutely live on forever in that building.

He stood on that ground even as it was still under construction, it will always be HIS theater.

Even though I wasn’t involved in drama/theater in HS, I was in stagecraft all 4 years. Mr. Warren frightened me at first, like he did most, but in my final year I couldn’t have respected someone more. It was an absolute pleasure just to be in his presence and to learn a thing or two from him. That auditorium was his second home and should absolutely be named after him.

As a former Wharton HS PTA president, and having two students participate in Mr. Warren’s LSA program, I cannot say enough good things about how much he enriched the school both personally and professionally. I highly support the naming of the auditorium in his honor.
