This time in Chicago…
From the press release:
I play for your team.
Take Me Out by Richard Greenberg
October 9-November 2, 2014
Darren Lemming, the star center fielder of the world champion New York Empires, is young, rich, famous, talented, handsome and so convinced of his popularity that when he casually announces he’s gay, he assumes the news will be readily accepted by everyone. It isn’t. Friends, fans and teammates react with ambivalence, and when the slipping Empires call up the young phenom Shane Mungitt to close their games, the ambivalence turns to violence.

It’s too late to see this in chicago (ended today) but I was lucky enough to be here on the last day and the nudity didn’t disappoint. I think the cast were chicago based and all but one were cut (francisco lopez, martinez) and all were trimmed except koovitz (joe fernandez). Kippy, charlie rasmann, was more of a guy next door type. Shane, chris rozenboom was cut and untrimmmed and you could see the fuzz on the sac. I think I am becoming a TMO junkie (unfortunately I just found out about this and only saw this and in providence a few years ago), but I am kicking myself for not making the trip to VA
