📢 Meet the Cast of our season closing production of The Outsider! Don’t miss this star-studded lineup of Island Players’ veterans and new faces alike as they bring this gut-busting show to life!

🇺🇸 🗳️ Synopsis: Ned Newley is terrified of public speaking and his poll numbers are terrible, but consultant Arthur Vance sees things differently: Ned might just be the worst candidate to ever run for office, unless the public is looking for the worst candidate to ever run for office.

A sharp-witted, modern comedy with a loveable underdog to root for and a hilarious cast that accompany him, this show’s jab at politics through a common man’s plight paves common ground for a delightfully entertaining time.
