Photos: THE OUTSIDER At Allen Contemporary Theatre

See first look photos of The Outsider at Allen Contemporary Theatre, running May 2-18. The Outsider, by Paul Slade Smith, is a hilarious, heart-filled comedy about awkwardness, authenticity, and the surprising power of being yourself. 

Ned Newley is a brilliant but painfully shy man who’s suddenly thrust into the spotlight. Surrounded by a team of well-meaning misfits trying to make him more “likable,” he fumbles through a series of hilarious public appearances. But when authenticity proves more powerful than spin, the unlikely hero begins to shine in his own way. A celebration of individuality, honesty, and the quiet strength of those who don’t seek the spotlight—but rise to the occasion anyway.
