“Keep ’em coming!” is something Roy Sexton’s readers have said frequently over the past 12 months since the release of his first book of film reviews, “Reel Roy Reviews: Keepin’ it Real.”
Sexton, a resident of Saline/Ann Arbor, started out penning missives about Hollywood blockbusters at www.reelroyreviews.com, but lately has been writing more about theatrical productions, concerts, and other live musical performances, and conducting the occasional interview.
In his latest book “Reel Roy Reviews, Vol. 2: Keep ‘Em Coming!” he reviews Sting’s new musical “The Last Ship,” offers musings on shows by Lady Gaga, Cher, Randy Newman, and Katy Perry; and has written one of the snarkiest pieces you will ever read about a Transformers film.
“Reel Roy Reviews, Vol. 1: Keepin’ It Real” was released on the Open Books (www.open-bks.com) imprint in February 2014, and this second volume is available for pre-order now (print edition and digital downloads distributing mid-January 2015). Both volumes will also be available on Amazon, iTunes, and Nook. The books can be found at Dearborn’s Green Brain Comics and Ann Arbor’s Bookbound and Common Language book stores.
Sexton, son of Don and Susie Sexton, grew up in Columbia City, Ind. He earned his Bachelor’s degree from Wabash College in 1995 and is a 1997 graduate of The Ohio State University, where he earned his Master’s degree in Theatre. In 2007, he graduated with his MBA from the University of Michigan. He is a graduate of Leadership Detroit, is a governor-appointed member of the Michigan Council of Labor and Economic Growth and was appointed to the Michigan Mortgage Lenders Association Board of Governors in 2012. He is currently participating in the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti Chamber of Commerce’s yearlong Leadership A2Y program, and is a member of the Legal Marketing Association.
Prior to joining Trott, Roy spent 10 years in planning and communications roles at Oakwood Healthcare System, serving as the Corporate Director of Strategic Communications and Planning. He led a staff of 20 marketing professionals and developed the strategic direction for the $1 billion health care system.
Sexton has been an active participant in the local theatre scene for nearly 20 years, and appeared in a number of productions. He most recently performed in The Penny Seats’ sold out run of the Tom Lehrer cabaret “Tomfoolery” at Conor O’Neill’s in Ann Arbor.
He is a co-founder of the theatre company. He is also an active cabaret performer.
