The California Stage Theater
The Outsider
Presenting a hilarious political comedy in Midtown Sacramento!
Former Lt. Governor Ned Newley doesn’t even want to be governor. He’s terrified of public speaking, and his poll numbers are impressively bad. To his ever-supportive Chief of Staff Dave, Ned seems destined to fail. But political consultant Arthur Vance sees things differently: Ned might be the worst candidate to ever run for office. And maybe the public is looking for… the worst candidate to ever run for office.
Add to the office mix Rachel the nosy reporter, Louise the temp who has confidence but no skills, and the cameraman just doing his job, and you have a timely and hilarious comedy that skewers politics and celebrates democracy!
