Don Most (Happy Days & Glee), and Robert Wuhl (Arliss, Batman, Bull Durham) are this week’s guests speaking all about their upcoming roles in the Judson Theatre’s production of Neil Simon’s The Sunshine Boys on Oct. 19th – 22nd at the Owens Auditorium at Sandhills Community College. www.JudsonTheatre.com
These two gifted actors both draw on their varied experiences since the early 70’s to recreate the George Burns & Walter Matthau characters from the eventual production of the movie, The Sunshine Boys.
Their stories, humor and remembrances of their respective careers gives a life to the 70’s & 80’s that is exceptional. From Ed Sullivan to Rod Steiger to Rodney Dangerfield and Robin Williams, no memory is let unturned.
The Sunshine Boys is being reborn and there are no two actors who are better equipped to play these roles.
The story of Weymouth began in the early 1900s when James Boyd, Sr. of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, purchased over 1200 acres at the request of his daughter Helen Boyd Dull to save the longleaf pine forest from the destruction of the turpentine industry.
The Georgian mansion that we know today was built in 1922 by his grandson, author James Boyd and his wife Katharine. Here they hosted literary greats, founded the Moore County Hounds, and influenced the design of a community.
Today the story continues with a writers in residency program, literary programming, musical concerts and a dedication to conserving the gardens and longleaf pine forests.
You become part of the story each time you visit Weymouth, write about Weymouth, tell a friend about Weymouth or become a supporter of Weymouth.
Today, the Weymouth Center in Southern Pines, is the cultural & arts center of Moore County.
In 2017 the legacy of the Weymouth House is alive, vibrant, well and open to the public. http://weymouthcenter.org/

Tom & Felicita Stone started their journey to Pinehurst almost 3 years ago.
As a retired police officer in the Miami area and an avid golfer, Tom scratched an itch and came to Pinehurst to see
what all the fanfare was about in 2014. Felicita works remotely in the telecommunications industry and travels abroad extensively.
With their two children grown and out on their own the timing seemed right.
This loving couple talk about their sojourn; the bumps in the road and their experiences in finding their final landing area for a 2nd home in Pinehurst. Their observations about Pinehurst are valuable reminders to many of us who live here and call this area home.
Real Estate broker, Christian McCarthy, who assisted the Stone’s on their journey, and who lent her heart and soul to their effort, joins us to share her impressions about the Stone’s and to lend her unique take and perspective.
Calli Brielle McIntyre is a high school honor student at Pinecrest High School and the reigning Miss Moore County’s Outstanding Teen in the Miss North Carolina Scholarship program.
She is an accomplished dancer, actress, singer and community activist. Calli leads with her heart and her ‘old soul’.
Her Platform for this coming year is Food Allergies. She has written a book, The Anteater that Couldn’t Eat Ants, to drive her point home. Her own peanut allergy, discovered early on, gave her the impetus to write this book as an 8th grader!
Currently she is working with State Representative Jamie Boles to help pass House Bill 520 to require restaurants to more properly prepare for occurrences of food allergies in their established place of business.
Her resume of theatrical accomplishments, spanning 11 years, and her leadership role as Founder/Director of Crowning Purpose, Inc. www.crowningpurpose.org speaks to her passion, her grit and her heart.
As you’ll hear, Calli is fearless, confident, gracious, articulate, loving, disciplined and focused. In 9 years of hosting All Things Moore County, I am hard pressed to recall anyone of her age more impressive or endearing.
