Description
A funny and troubling look at athletes and identity, Take Me Out is a dynamic play that explores the complexities of human relationships. When Darren Lemming, the star center fielder for his team, makes a matter-of-fact announcement about his sexuality, it throws his teammates into turmoil and confusion. The play also emboldens Mason Marzac, the team's accountant, to come to terms with his own feelings and experience the joy of watching great athletes play. However, Darren's announcement also brings out the worst in some of his teammates, including pitcher Shane Mungitt, whose racist and homophobic views lead to tragic consequences. This thought-provoking play tackles issues of identity, community, and acceptance, raising questions about what it means to be true to oneself and find one's place in the world.
