Herb is currently preparing to open as DArren Lemming in the Foothills Theatre production of TAKE ME OUT. Visit www.foothillstheatre.com/shows-events/take-me-out# for more details. 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 to his teammates and the press that he is gay, he assumes the news will be readily accepted by everyone. It isn’t. Darren finds some unlikely solace in the form of friendship with his new business manager, Mason – a brilliant but repressed guy who as everyone around him copes with disenchantment, blooms in the ecstatic discovery of baseball. Winner of the 2003 Tony Award for Best Play, this much talked about story sizzles with humor, passion, and an overwhelming affection for the game.
