T.R. Knight Takes The Stage
Filed under: T.R. Knight > Broadway Babies
The rumors were true!
Now that T.R. Knight has more than enough extra time on his hands, he'll be hitting the center stage come September.
Too bad the former Grey's Anatomy star won't be taking Broadway by storm!
Knight, a Broadway vet himself, has signed on to to star in Jason Robert Brown's Los Angeles production of Parade.
Says Knight on his return to the theatre: "I am very fortunate to return to the theater playing Leo Frank in this incredible, acclaimed production of Parade. After a five-year break, it feels great to be on stage again."
The Tony-award winning musical is the story of "Leo Frank, convicted for the murder of 13-year-old Mary Phagan in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1913… [and] the press frenzy and public outrage about Frank's trial, and his wife's crusade for justice."
Parade will run from September 24th to November 15th at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles.
We might have to check it out!

Oh my god, this is amazing. Parade is a FANTASTIC show!
That's casting against type. Knight will be playing a Brooklyn Jew who runs a pencil factory in turn-of-the-century Georgia. It's a terribly complex role; Frank is a selfish, unlikable man who is thrust into horrific circumstances when the race-bating locals decide to make an example of him after a girl is murdered in his factory.
Honestly, if he wasn't gay, would you be reporting on him at all?
The Theatre darlings-

Tread those boards, boy.
and ACT.
"Parade" is incredible! I think I might have to plan a trip as well. Wow! That's super exciting for T.R.!
I cant stand this whiney bitch.
Peter Gallenger play that role in a movie on TV. It was very intense. I will not give the plot away but damn! I hope he has the charm of Peter. Good luck Knight. Will miss you on Grey's.
Oh, my bad! Peter Gallenger played that part!
It was said he just enjoyed hot dating with a black big female on >> M y I n t e r r a c i a l M a t c h. c Om "

I love JRB's shows. that will be so cool for him!
