The Story:
In the chaotic wake of a political scandal, a timid, brilliant number-cruncher named Ned Newley finds himself accidentally elevated to the governor’s office—a man wholly unprepared to be seen, let alone lead. As cynical consultants scramble to spin his awkward honesty into electable charm, the machinery of modern politics whirs to life, transforming sincerity into strategy and decency into spectacle. The Outsider skewers the absurd theater of American democracy with razor-sharp wit, revealing how, in a world built on optics and spin, the rarest quality in a politician may just be genuine integrity.

As for all plays, we are also looking for a stage manager, lights and sound person, as well. But anyone who is wanting to work on the play is invited to attend auditions and make yourself known to the director.
Theatre West encourages everyone to audition for our plays. Experience is never required and we do not pre-cast our shows.
