0:00It's March 27. I'm Corey with The Story, and this is Entertainment and Celebrity News Today, your AI-powered Entertainment Report. Jesse Tyler Ferguson is starring as Truman Capote in the Off-Broadway Play. True. It's a one-man show running for 52 performances through May 3rd at the 99-seat library in the House of the Redeemer on Manhattan's Upper East Side. The production recreates Capote's living room from his United Nations Plaza apartment. The show got its start as a reading in Tangier, Morocco. Directed by Rob Ashford, Ferguson joined what he thought was a group event, only to realize it was solo. It went so well that they brought it to New York, with Charlie Demboise appearing as ghostly figures. Ashford calls it a perfect match for Ferguson, praising his grasp of Capote's humor and pain. Capote has been played before in films like The 2005 Capote, with Phil of Seymour Hoffman, 2006's Infamous, and this year's. In a few series, stage versions starred Robert Morse, who won a Tony in 1990.
