New Hope, PA -Bucks County Playhouse announced a series of post-show talkbacks with Ray Didinger and guests, following Tuesday and Thursday evening performances of Didinger’s hit play, “Tommy and Me.” The talkbacks are free to anyone attending the Tuesday and Thursday performances. (Note: An additional talkback is scheduled following the 7:30 pm performance on Wednesday, June 14).

At press time, the line-up includes a variety of Philadelphia sports journalism and broadcasting icons — including recently retired WIP morning show host, Angelo Cataldi, who for three decades was one of the dominant voices in Philadelphia Sports radio. The series will also include the children of Hall of Fame Eagles player, Tommy McDonald and more.

The current talkback schedule includes:

Tuesday, June 6 • Ray Didinger and with Angelo Cataldi, the WIP sports radio host making a rare post-retirement appearance, and Cast.

Thursday, June 8 • Ray Didinger with Jack McCallum, Sports Illustrated writer and author of the best-selling book “Dream Team,” the story of the 1992 U.S. Olympic basketball team.

Wednesday, June 14 • Ray Didinger with Michael Barkann from NBC Sports Philadelphia and actor Gordon Clapp.

Thursday, June 15 • Ray Didinger and a guest to be announced.

Directed by Nick Corley, “Tommy and Me” recalls a seminal time in Didinger’s life when he helped his idol, Philadelphia Eagles legendary wide receiver Tommy McDonald, gain his place in the NFL Hall of Fame. Emmy-winner and Tony-nominee Gordon Clapp, who played Detective Greg Medavoy for all 12 seasons on ABC’s “NYPD Blue,” stars as Tommy McDonald.

Magical things can happen when a boy meets his sports idol. Legendary Sports journalist Ray Didinger’s lifelong relationship with famously tough, Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver, Tommy McDonald, led both down an unexpected path — straight to Canton, OH and the National Football League’s Hall of Fame. “Tommy and Me” is a valentine to the relationship between sports stars and fans everywhere.
