Performances of "Take me Out"
"Take me Out" delves into a locker room drama about the struggle a gay baseball star faces as he comes out of the closet. Hailed by the New York Times as "an all-American epiphany," it explores homophobia, class, racism and masculinity with unflinching honesty and compassionate comedy. This production contains nudity, adult content and strong language. Cast and creative team Jay Berkow, associate professor of theatre, directs the all-student cast, which includes: Sean Buckley, Cornelius Davidson, Matt Felkey, Christopher Grazul, Joel Hoard, Michael Lopetrone, Ben Maters, Corey O'Brien-Pniewski, Bello Pizzimenti, Max Rasmussen and Joe Russell. The creative team includes WMU students Ben Bauer, lighting designer; Malcolm Campbell, technical director; Julia Nichols, stage manager; Keith Roelfsema, sound designer; Jackie Soule, scenic designer; and Sara Tomaszewski, costume designer.
