A hysterical and timely comedy satire on American politics about a timid man who is running for governor against his wishes.
Britin Haller with Florida Theater on Stage says “You might think the last thing a South Florida community would want during an election month is more talk about an election, but you would be wrong. In a play where doing the right thing is its theme, saying The Outsider is laugh-out-loud funny doesn’t do it justice, because it’s so much more than that. Laughter really is the best medicine, and The Outsider is more than ideal for what ails you, no matter what side of the fence you sit on.”
