'Grey's Anatomy' Star T.R. Knight Takes on Theater Role

T.R. Knight -- who confirmed to ET last week that he will not be returning to "Grey's Anatomy" next season -- has announced he is set to star in a musical this fall.

Knight will be playing Leo Frank in the 1998 musical Parade at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, the L.A. Times reports.

The play, based on a true story, follows the arrest, conviction and lynching of Leo Frank in Atlanta after the Civil War.

"I am very fortunate to return to the theater playing Leo Frank in this incredible, acclaimed production of Parade," the actor told the Times. "After a five-year break, it feels great to be onstage again."

Knight performed on Broadway in 2001 in the play Tartuffe as well as in Noises Off. Parade opens in L.A. on Oct. 24 and tickets go on sale June 26.
