Broadway and screen star Jesse Tyler Ferguson and partner, Justin Mikita, have created an exclusive special edition bow tie by “Tie The Knot” for the 2013 Tony Awards.

This stylish black textured silk necktie with subtle silver and royal blue stripes is formal enough for black tie affairs such as the Tonys, or for just hanging out on a Saturday in Central Park.

“Tie The Knot” was founded to raise awareness and advocate on behalf of marriage equality. All proceeds benefit United States organizations fighting on behalf of LGBT Civil Rights.

This exclusive, limited edition Tony bow tie is available for purchase at www.TheTieBar.com for $25.

Ferguson joined with past Tony Award-winner Sutton Foster to announce the 2013 Tony Award nominations on April 30.  Watch the video....and our interview with Ferguson and Foster. The star of TV's Modern Family will return to his theatrical roots this summer, starring as “Dromio” in the Public Theater’s Shakespeare in the Park production of The Comedy of Errors, May 28 to June 30 at the Delacorte Theatre in Central Park.
