The Outsider
by Beyond August Productions
Jul. 24 (2022)
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.

Seeking actors to audition for the following roles:
ARTHUR VANCE, male, 50s/60s. One of the most experienced and successful political consultants in the country. His overbearing personality, and confidence in his own opinions over the opinions of others should make him dislikable. But his ego is more than tempered by the joy—even glee—he brings into the room. He’s a showman, but his excitement is 100% genuine, and it's contagious.
NED NEWLEY, male, 50s/60s. The new Governor. A person of impressive ability, but a complete lack of confidence. A man awaiting permission to enter a room in which he is already standing.
A.C. PETERSON, male 30s - 50s. A TV cameraman. A working man, and—for most people—the guy you didn’t notice was there, which is fine with A.C. He has a low tolerance for idiocy, and would rather not interact with anyone. His near-silence doesn’t make him seem unfriendly, just a bit of a mystery.
