For a young person who has yet to share their own story of beg gay, seeg a character (que lerally seeg them illtratn) clare those words and be accepted whout qutn is a wonrful way to munite that love.

Due to the very nature of a gay character (multiple gay characters), this book has the potential to be ntroversial among rears who do not believe sexualy or homosexualy has a place teen lerature. The genre also vers relatnships and gay them.

"Take Me Out, " which opened April 4, centers Darren, a stellar profsnal baseball player, and what happens to him and his team — the fictnal Empir — after he out as gay.

The script, viewed by Insir, lls Darren "a Black man who you uld image had never suffered" and Williams told Entertament Weekly that the character "don't nsir himself part of the gay muny" and has been "straight prentg" before he mak the somewhat impulsive cisn to share his sexual orientatn wh the world at a prs 's is a versn of a g-out story, there is no nyg that. Unfortunately, tryg to do so, he grossly unrtimat the power of racism and homophobia.

We also see the shock Darren feels when 's clear the team manager Skip (Ken Marks) isn't gog to fight to keep Shane Mungt (Michael Oberholtzer) — the player who ed explic homophobic and racial slurs agast Darren — om beg restated on the team. Williams has a lot to prove his Broadway but as Darren, and part of the reason he's succsful bee of his platonic chemistry wh stage veteran and "Morn Fay" star Jse Tyler Fergon as Darren's bs manager Mason "Marz" role, more than Williams', benefs om beg played by an openly gay actor who knows the stggle that many young people face bee of their sexualy. Marz knows why 's important that Darren don't n away om baseball, bee he's facg the btal reali of racism and homophobia.
