The naked truth

Went to see "Take Me Out," which is part of the Rep's new Off-Ramp series. The plays are meant to be more controversial and provocative than the average St. Louis affair. I'll say. Six totally naked men showering onstage might be the norm in Amsterdam but not in the Lou. The play primarily is about a gay baseball player but there are lots of other conflicts thrown in. I didn't like it as much as the Post-Dispatch reviewer, but theater is always unpredictable and subjective. Now go cover up before you catch a cold.
