The Outsider at Tacoma Little Theatre

Written by Paul Slade Smith, this hilarious political satire follows Ned Newley, a reluctant gubernatorial candidate terrified of public speaking with dismal poll numbers. Political consultant Arthur Vance sees potential in Ned's flaws, believing the public may be looking for the worst candidate to ever run for office. As Ned's unlikely campaign gains momentum, his honesty and awkward charm resonate with voters in unexpected ways. The production features Nicole Lockett, Andrew Harker-Rigal, Natalie Cunningmam, John Short, Steve Tarry, Ana Bury-Quinn, and Brittany D. Henderson.
