The Outsider at Lake Country Playhouse

The Outsider
By Paul Slade Smith

A timely and hilarious comedy that skewers politics and celebrates democracy. Winner of two 2023 Helen Hayes Awards!

Ned Newley doesn't even want to be governor. He's terrified of public speaking; his poll numbers are impressively bad. To his ever-supportive Chief of Staff, 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.

“A laugh-out-loud whimsical farce, as if Oscar Wilde has come back from the dead to write an episode of The West Wing." - DCist

"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." - Broadway World

"There is no doubt about it. The Outsider is one of the funniest shows you will see this year." - Let's Go to the Theatre
