Richard Greenberg's Tony Award winning comedic drama "Take Me Out" will be presented July 14-29th. .

Darren Lemming, the star center fielder of the world champion New York Empires, is young, rich, famous, talented, handsome and so convinced of his popularity that when he casually announces he's gay, he assumes the news will be readily accepted by everyone. It isn't. Friends, fans and teammates react with ambivalence, and when the slipping Empires call up the young phenom Shane Mungitt to close their games, the ambivalence turns to violence. Angry, lonely, guilt-ridden and confused. Darren finds some unlikely solace in the form of friendship with his new business manager, Mason Marzac - a brilliant but repressed guy, who, as everyone around him copes with disenchantment, blooms in the ecstatic discovery of baseball.

" ... what an enchanting and enchanted take on baseball Mr. Greenberg has created ... passionately personal and lyrically analytical. It's a sensibility that is so smart, raw and sincere all at once that you may find tears in your eyes ... an unconditional, all-American epiphany ...

to cherish." - The New York Times
