What is Take Me Out About?
Taking place primarily in a men's locker room, Take Me Out chronicles the aftermath of Darren Lemming's public coming out of the closet. A mixed-raced national hero/star center fielder for fictional team The Empires, Lemming finds the reception to this news both on and off the field is fraught with previously unaired intolerance and discrimination. Even his own friends are confused and afraid, and amidst growing frictions and confrontations, Lemming and his team struggle towards a champion season and a foreboding sense of doom.
Tickets for Take Me Out are now on sale.
