About this event
November 13–22 About the Show When a painfully shy and socially awkward man suddenly becomes a candidate for political office, chaos quickly follows. In The Outsider, Ned Newley seems like the least qualified person imaginable to run for governor. He struggles with public speaking, avoids confrontation and would rather stay far away from the spotlight. But when polling reveals that voters might actually prefer his honesty over polished politicians, his campaign unexpectedly gains momentum. This sharp and hilarious political comedy delivers nonstop laughs while reminding us that authenticity can sometimes be the most powerful message of all.
