Richard Greenberg, who won frequent praise for his sharp-witted plays about the manners and mores of urbane New Yorkers, and who received a Tony Award in 2003 for “Take Me Out,” his play about a gay baseball player, died on July 4 in Manhattan. He was 67.

Mr. Greenberg rose to theater fame in the 1980s with a string of scripts that delved into the interior lives of young urban professionals (yuppies).

In addition to the Tony Award for best play, “Take Me Out” won the same honor from the New York Drama Critics’ Circle, and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. It was revived on Broadway in 2022. A prolific writer, Mr. Greenberg wrote more than 30 produced plays, including original works, adaptations and one-acts, as well as an occasional television script.
