Getting to Know Tony Moore, the Newly Named Director of A Gathering Place and Guthrie Green

Aired on Friday, October 14th.

Our guest on this edition of ST is Tony Moore, who was formerly the chief operating officer at the Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa, Florida, and now serves as the director of both A Gathering Place and Guthrie Green. The former is, of course, the George Kaiser Family Foundation's $350 million initiative -- now being built along Riverside Drive near 31st Street -- that will open late next year, and the latter is the popular public-park-and-open-stage space in downtown Tulsa, just across the street from the Woody Guthrie Center. Before working at the Lowry Park Zoo, Moore served in management capacities at SeaWorld, Discovery Cove, and Universal Studios. He talks about what A Gathering Place will have to offer the people of Tulsa -- and indeed, the people visiting the park from all over the country -- and also describes how his past work experiences will serve him well in this new post.

Rich Fisher is celebrating his 40th year of service to Public Radio Tulsa. Since 2000, he has been the general manager of Public Radio Tulsa, and previously served as the host of the public affairs program, StudioTulsa, which ran from 1992-2021. Prior to that, he served as music director, a program host and operations director for the station.
