The karaoke showcase is part of a weekend of events featuring Heyborne, known for his roles in “The Best Two Years,” “The Singles Ward,” “The R.M.” and other films. Heyborne is the host of BYUtv’s “Making Good,” in which he and his team travel the country offering a boost to organizations who could use a little help in their own efforts to make a positive difference.
Heyborne will be at the Romance Theater in Rexburg Friday, July 7 and Saturday July 8 for the karaoke showcase, a movie marathon, Q&A, and a live show featuring Heyborne’s music and storytelling.
