How Jesse Tyler Ferguson of ‘Modern Family’ Is Showing His Range
Before Jesse Tyler Ferguson starred on “Modern Family,” he was a bartender at the Winter Garden Theater in Midtown Manhattan, when “Cats” was in performances there. It was 1995, and he had come to New York from Albuquerque. He was cast in the Off Broadway production of “On the Town,” which later moved to Broadway.
“These professional dancers and singers in ‘Cats’ were auditioning for the same role as me, and I got it,” he said. “It’s like my Shirley MacLaine story.”
After starring in the original Broadway production of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” Mr. Ferguson was cast as the uptight lawyer Mitchell Pritchett on the ABC sitcom. After the show ended in 2020, he won a Tony Award for “Take Me Out.”
Now he is starring as Truman Capote in the play “Tru.” He recently spent his day off with The New York Times.

Long Island Rail Road Service Suspended as Workers Strike
For the first time in over 30 years, thousands of workers walked off the job, halting service on the Long Island Rail Road, the country’s busiest passenger rail service.

“What do we want?” “Contracts!” “I feel terrible. Terrible. This is going to hurt. This is going to hurt the island. This is going to hurt the city. They think they can push us around. And we’re supposed to just fall in line. Alls we’re asking for is fair wages. Record inflation in the last few years. Our contract goes back three years. It’s not going forward. So, we went through those record inflationary years and they’re trying to lowball us.” “Their strategy is to inconvenience Long Islanders to try to force the M.T.A. and the state to do a bad deal.” “What do we want?” “Contracts!” “When do we want it?” “Now!”
