Jesse Tyler Ferguson will be the latest featured creative in the LGBTQ+ Culture Center’s series Speaking of Excellence at 7 p.m. Oct. 15 at the IU Auditorium.
The series, in partnership with the Indiana Memorial Union Board, seeks to bring in LGBTQ+ creatives and advocates for a discussion and Q&A. The last installment in the series featured actress Hunter Schafer.
Many know Ferguson as Mitchell Prichett in the ABC series “Modern Family” which ran for 11 seasons and was celebrated for its depiction of an LGBTQ+ family.
Ferguson won a Tony Award last year for his turn as Mason Marzac in a revival of Richard Greenberg’s play “Take Me Out.” He also recently starred in the film “All That We Love” directed by Yen Tan which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, alongside Margaret Cho.
Along with acting, Ferguson is also a filmmaker, producer and podcast host. He currently hosts the “Dinner’s on Me” podcast, where he sits down to share a meal and a conversation with a different guest every week.
Tickets will be available on the IU Auditorium’s website, and students can claim their free ticket using the link received in their IU email.
