In  TAKE ME OUT, Greenberg celebrates the personal and professional intricacies of America’s favorite pastime. When Darren Lemming (Jesse Williams), the star center fielder for the Empires, comes out of the closet, the reception off the field reveals a barrage of long-held unspoken prejudices. Facing some hostile teammates and fraught friendships, Darren is forced to  contend with the challenges of being a gay person of color within the confines of a classic American institution. As the Empires struggle to rally toward a championship season, the players and their fans begin to question tradition, their loyalties, and the price of victory.

The full creative team for  TAKE ME OUT  includes scenic design by  David Rockwell, costume design by  Linda Cho, lighting design by  Kenneth Posner, sound design by  Mikaal Sulaiman, and casting by  Jim Carnahan.
