Producers announced Thursday that it has announced a revival of Second Stage Theater’s 2002 play “Take Me Out”.
“Take me out,” about how members of the baseball team react when a player is perceived as gay, which premiered in April at the Helen Hayes Theater in the Scott Ellis-directed film. It went on to receive a Tony Award for Best Play Revival in June – beyond “For girls of color who once considered suicide / When rainbows were images,“”How did I learn to drive?“”Trouble in mind” and “American Buffalo. “
The play will begin performing at the Schoenfeld Theater on October 27, and is scheduled to run for 14 weeks.
While Ferguson, who won the Tony Award for best actor for playing a business executive, became a fan of the sport, and Williams, who was nominated for his role as a soccer player, became a fan of the sport. Baseball came out as gay in the mid-1990s, is returning to production, remaining cast is yet to be announced.
“Best of all is “Take Me Out,” says Jesse Green, chief theater critic for The New York Times, wrote in his review last April, “is a game of five engines. It’s (1) funny, with an unusually high density of laughs for a (2) pretty serious thread, and (3) brain without undermining (4) its emotions. I’m not sure if (5) counts as a tool or much, but ‘Take Me Out’ delivers scary roles to a bunch of actors. “
During production, audiences were asked to put their phones in a locked pocket before screening, as well Make the title when a nude video of Williams was captured by an audience member and shared online in May. The leak has drawn widespread condemnation, including from the show’s producers and some members of the show, but Williams seems to have mostly taken it on optimistically.
“I come here to work,” he said in an interview. “I will tell the truth on stage, I will be vulnerable.”
Production, the show’s first revival in nearly 20 years, was scheduled to hit theaters in 2020, but Broadway went into darkness in March 2020 before previews began.
