The Outsider at Wade James Theatre

The Edmonds Driftwood Players presents The Outsider.

Please join Edmonds Driftwood Players for our upcoming comedic production of The Outsider! By Paul Slade Smith. Directed by Tammis Doyle. Running February 27-March 22 at the Wade James Theatre in downtown Edmonds.

Show Synopsis:

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 timely and hilarious comedy that skewers politics and celebrates democracy.
