A ONE-MAN SHOW – With special guest Paul Murphy

Critically acclaimed interviewer, impressionist, musician, singer and storyteller, Roy Firestone, brings a unique type of show to Moore County on Saturday evening, July 16th at 7:30 p.m. at the Owens auditorium at Sandhills Community College. His spirited conversation covers so many of the bases that will highlight his show on July 16th. Executive Director of the Arts Council of Moore County, Chris Dunn and musician Paul Murphy join us
for the conversation. From his vantage point, Roy, who was born in the 50’s has an uncanny ability to create a tapestry of culture from the personalities he has known in the sports world and from the artists he grew up and interacted with.

He is well known as the Emmy Award winning host of ESPN’s Up Close Primetime television show and his iconic role in the well-known movie, Jerry Maguire. As you’ll hear, this was only the beginning as Roy has evolved into a multi-level entertainment talent and easy chair humorous philosopher.

The One Man Show is brought to you by the Arts Council of Moore County –
