Who is Ned Newley? And why is he the new governor?

Lt. Governor Ned Newley doesn’t even want to be governor, but scandal has shoved him into the big chair behind the governor’s desk. But Ned has issues: he’s terrified of public speaking and his poll numbers are impressively bad. To his ever-supportive Chief of Staff, Dave, 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. “The Outsider” is a timely and hilarious comedy that skewers politics and celebrates democracy!

“Funny, timely, and dare we say, entirely possible, The Outsider is a wonderfully crafted, superbly presented show… It is an insightful, witty satire about modern American politics that will appeal to a vast audience.” —BroadwayWorld.
