Twin City Players announces the fourth production of its 2022-2023 90th Mainstage Season of Comedy, The Outsider by Paul Slade Smith.
Here’s the overview of the play, from TCP:
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.
