The Outsider – Pull-Tight Players Theatre
Ned Newley is an unassuming, earnest, and honorable man who finds himself thrust in the Governor’s seat in the wake of a recent political scandal. His moral standards – and his deathly fear of public speaking – make it likely that he won’t stay in office long. Luckily, he has a savvy political team intent on lending their talents … for better or worse. The Outsider is a timely and hilarious satire of modern American politics that both roasts the political machine and celebrates democracy.
