April 10 - 26: The Outsider
By Paul Slade Smith, Directed by Madeline Sarasio Meyer
Fri & Sat at 7 pm, Sun at 2 pm
Ned Newley doesn't even want to be governor. He's terrified of public speaking; his poll numbers are impressively bad. To his
ever-supportive Chief of Staff, Ned seems destined to fail. But political consultant Arthur Vance sees things differently: Ned
might be the worst candidate to ever run for office. Unless the public is looking for ... the worst candidate to ever run for office.
A timely and hilarious comedy that skewers politics and celebrates democracy.
