Photo Flash: TAKE ME OUT Opens at Celebration Theatre
Celebration Theatre is thrilled to present the second show in its 2010-2011 Season of Shows, the Tony Award-winning play, TAKE ME OUT, written by Richard Greenberg and directed by Michael Matthews and produced for Celebration Theatre by Nicholas Caprio, Michael C. Kricfalusi, Todd Milliner and Christopher Sepulveda. TAKE ME OUT will preview on Wednesday, September 22, and Thursday, September 23 at 8pm and will open on Friday, September 24 at 8pm and run through Sunday, October 31 at Celebration Theatre, 7051B Santa Monica Blvd. in Hollywood.
Darren Lemming is the star center fielder for the champion New York Empires. An extraordinary athlete, he fills both his fans and his teammates with awe at his abilities and his presence on the field and off. When he makes the matter-of-fact announcement that he's gay, he throws his team into turmoil and confusion, while he also emboldens his closeted accountant, Mason Marzac, to come to terms with his own sexuality-and to fully experience the pure joy of watching great athletes play a sport as well as it can be played. But Darren's announcement brings to the fore the confused and twisted hostilities of the Empires' brilliantly talented but deeply racist and homophobic pitcher, Shane Mungitt-from whose rage tragic consequences ensue.Photos Credit: Sean Lambert Photography
