Fast, Funny Farce with The Outsider at Oak Grove August 20-26, 2026

Published

August 20-26, 2026 at Oak Grove Theater The Outsider by Paul Slade-Smith

Ned Newley is extremely competent but incapable of being a politician. A man who faints at microphones is suddenly in charge of a state.

The fifth show of the Oak Grove Theater 2026 Season

The Outsider

August 20-26-2026

Ned Newley didn’t run for office. He didn’t want office. He doesn’t understand office. But he is the office. Farcical? Yes please. Paul Slade Smith’s The Outsider earned a Helen Hayes Awards and praise for its blend of farce, heart, and civic optimism.
