Tony Awards Preview: 'Take Me Out'
All Of It - A podcast by WNYC
[REBROADCAST FROM MARCH 22, 2022] The 2002 play, "Take Me Out," from Richard Greenberg tells the story of a professional baseball player who decides to come out of the closet, releasing a barrage of prejudice from his teammates that he wasn't prepared for. Greenberg, director Scott Ellis, and star Jesse Williams join us to discuss their revival of the play, which runs at the Second Stage Theater through May 29th. "Take Me Out" is nominated at this Sunday's 75th Tony Awards for Best Revival of a Play, Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Play for Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Michael Oberholtzer, and Jesse Williams.
