Ned Newley doesnt even want to be governor. Hes terrified of public speaking, and 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. THE OUTSIDER is a timely and hilarious comedy that skewers politics and celebrates democracy.

News About The Outsider at Keegan Theatre
Review: THE MINUTES at Keegan Theatre
April 08, 2026 Ninety minutes of a play that detail the utter pompousness, redundancies, calls to “shelve” or postpone important actions, and the ignoring of vital new community comments, are only some of the bureaucratic and provincial rules, regulations, and idiocies of what can constitute The Minutes of a city council meeting. Esteemed author Tracy Letts (August: Osage County, Superior Donuts) continually surprises and disorients the playgoer as he shifts writing tone in his phenomenal play The Minutes.

Review: THE OUTSIDER at Keegan Theatre
August 30, 2022 The Outsider by Paul Slade Smith, now playing at the Keegan Theatre, is a skewering send-up of all the shenanigans that polls, pollsters, and the media are involved in. Laughs aplenty ensue as a governor must resign and a decidedly “outsider” type of candidate, Ned Newley (played by a perfectly cast Zach Brewster-Geisz), is thrust into the spotlight without any of the political and media-savvy intuition that politicos believe are so necessary to appeal to the voters. Soon the tables are turned, and the outsider becomes the darling of the media due to his unerring honesty and complete lack of guile.
