The Celebration Theater Presents TAKE ME OUT Through 1/30
Celebration Theatre in association with Sidney/Kern L.L.C. presents the Tony Award-winning play, TAKE ME OUT by Richard Greenberg about the repercussions about New York Empires star center fielder Darren Lemming's non-chalant admission that he's gay.
Playwright Richard Greenberg won a Tony Award for Best Play 2003 for Take Me Out. Take Me Out traveled from London to New York in the first co-production of the Donmar Warehouse and The Public Theater, and then transferred to Broadway. He is the author of over 25 plays including 8 South Coast Repertory World Premieres: The Violet Hour, Three Days of Rain (Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award, Pulitzer Prize finalist, Olivier, Drama Desk and Hull-Warriner nominations), and The Extra Man. He is a winner of the Oppenheimer Award and the first winner of the PEN/Laura Pels Award for a playwright in mid-career.
Richard Greenberg grew up in East Meadow, New York, a middle-class Long Island town in Nassau County, east of New York City. Greenberg graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University. He attended Harvard for graduate work in English, and was accepted into Yale's playwriting program.
