Edmonds Driftwood Players presents The Outsider!
February 27-March 22, 2026 at the Wade James Theatre.
By Paul Slade Smith. Directed by Tammis Doyle.
Show Synopsis: 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.
Features the acting talents of: Hannah Coleman (Paige), Jack Anderson (Dave), Gina Wilhelm (Louise), Keith Dahlgren (Ned), Mark Sparks (Arthur), Joy Ghigleri (Rachel), Doug Knoop (A.C).
