WRAL.com archive: Roanoke Rapids theater project
Randy Parton headlined and managed a $21.5 million music theater in Roanoke Rapids that bore his name until the city cut ties with him in January 2008 over poor ticket sales and allegation of misused funds. After that, revenues at the theater continued to lag, forcing the city to raise taxes and seek a new manager or new owner.
