Take Me Out

Richard Greenberg’s Tony Award-winning play is the story of Darren Lemming, a great baseball star, an exemplary role model of grace, athletic prowess, team spirit and sheer talent. Darren is considered a “one-man-emblem-of-racial-harmony” with his white father and black mother, beloved of fans, teammates and management alike. But Lemming throws a curve ball right into the middle of the perfect season when he announces during a press briefing that he is gay. Take Me Out chronicles the fall-out, as the ripples of his actions spread through the team, the media and across the nation.
