Synopsis

CHICAGO PREMIERE Darren Lemming is the epitome of a baseball star. He’s handsome, charismatic, articulate, rich and infallible on the field. He’s every boy’s all-American hero. But when Darren comes out of the closet, his announcement sets off a startling chain of events that ...a startling chain of events that profoundly changes everyone in Darren’s world and threatens to undermine America’s best-loved team. Acclaimed playwright Richard Greenberg (The Violet Hour, Three Days of Rain) won the 2003 Tony Award for Best Play for this deeply funny, provocative play about America’s favorite pastime. The New York Times hails Take Me Out as “an unconditional, all-American epiphany” that’s “smart, raw and sincere.”
