Broadway and professional football come together this Sunday night September 26 at 10:30 PM on FOX TV's "Sports Extra" when Dan Lauria, currently starring on Broadway in LOMBARDI, and the show's Tony Award-nominated director Tommy Kail speak with host Duke Castiglione. The show airs on Channel 5. The NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE is making its first foray on Broadway as a special producing partner of the production.
