The Outsider

Show Information

When the sitting Governor gets kicked out of office for…you guessed it…corruption, it’s time for someone new to take the throne…ergh role. And the polls are in: we need an outsider. Enter bumbling brainiac Ned Newley. With bright ideas and hope in his eyes, he’s the perfect candidate…on paper. But it will take a team of dedicated pollsters, campaign coordinators, and more notecards than you can count, to turn him into a poised politician who can expertly avoid questions like it’s his job. This knee-slappingly hilarious play will have you reaching across the aisle to share a laugh with your fellow countrymen. You may even find a renewed sense of hope for politics…okay maybe not… but you’ll at least enjoy an absolutely hysterical and highly entertaining break from the news.

Estimated Run Time: 2 hours and a 15 minute intermission
