Take Me Out - 2022 - Broadway History , Info & More

In this Tony Award-winning Best Play, playwright Richard Greenberg celebrates the personal and professional intricacies of America's favorite pastime. When Darren Lemming (Jesse Williams), the star center fielder for the Empires, comes out of the closet, the reception off the field reveals a barrage of long-held unspoken prejudices. Facing some hostile teammates and fraught friendships, Darren is forced to contend with the challenges of being a gay person of color within the confines of a classic American institution. As the Empires struggle to rally toward a championship season, the players and their fans begin to question tradition, their loyalties, and the price of victory.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Take Me Out

TAKE ME OUT Finds Loneliness In The Diamond — Review
9 / 10

The emotional wallop packed by Take Me Out took me by surprise. The last time I engaged with a baseball-centric Broadway tale, watching the Damn Yankees film, I was left watching, well, baseball. But this convincingly-acted, blistering drama more than earns its championship title.

‘Take Me Out’ loads the Broadway bases with wit and incisive drama
9 / 10

Featuring Jesse Williams as a superstar center fielder who comes roaring out of the closet, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson as a goofy, white-collar guy already out and newly turned on by the game, the comedy-drama has been buffed to a scintillating sheen by director Scott Ellis and his lineup of pro designers. They ensure Greenberg’s wit steps up winningly to the plate for the revival that marked its official opening Monday night at the Hayes Theatre.
