The Outsider
by Wimberley Players
Feb. 23 - Feb. 24
Ned Newley doesn’t even want to be governor. He’s bad at public speaking, his poll numbers are tragic, and he’s basically the worst candidate imaginable… unless that’s exactly what the public wants. A sharp, smart comedy that skewers politics while celebrating democracy — painfully relevant and wildly funny.
