Richard Greenberg, Tony-Winning ‘Take Me Out’ Playwright, Dies at 67
Richard Greenberg, the 'Take Me Out' and 'Assembled Parties' playwright, died at age 67.
Greenberg’s death was announced on social media by collaborators and colleagues such as Denis O’Hare and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who won Tonys for their work in the original 2003 production of “Take Me Out” and its 2022 revival, as well as director Robert Falls. Greenberg’s plays were known for their wit and sophistication, and covered a wide range of topics, from a pro baseball team reacting to the presence of a gay player in the locker room in “Take Me Out” to an Upper West Side family grappling with the consequences of their bad choices in “The Assembled Parties.” Greenberg’s work, which includes “Three Days of Rain,” “Our Mother’s Brief Affair” and “The American Plan,” was frequently produced on and off Broadway, as well as at top regional theaters. Falls wrote on social media that Greenberg was working with him on a new adaptation of Philip Barry’s “Holiday” that was supposed to premiere next year at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre.
