ABOUT THE SHOW
Paul Slade Smith's "THE OUTSIDER" is a popular political satire play about an unlikely candidate, Ned Newley, who becomes governor after a scandal, despite his crippling fear of public speaking and lack of political instinct, becoming a symbol for voters seeking an anti-establishment figure.
The comedy skewers modern American politics, exploring themes of democracy, public perception, and the absurdity of the electoral process through witty dialogue and farcical situations.
It's known for being a hilarious, timely, and non-partisan look at the political landscape.
ABOUT GATEWAY PLAYERS THEATRE OF SOUTHBRIDGE
GATEWAY PLAYERS THEATRE, INC. is an all-volunteer community theater providing quality live theatre performances and workshops to Southbridge, Sturbridge, and Charlton, Massachusetts and surrounding areas. GATEWAY PLAYERS THEATRE, INC. started in 1975, when a group of interested community members decided that Southbridge needed a theater group to bring live productions to the area. First using local schools and borrowed rehearsal and storage space, GATEWAY then moved into its current home in 1978, when Ruth Wells (of the American Optical Company Wells family) donated her home on Main Street as a cultural center in Southbridge. GATEWAY PLAYERS THEATRE offers a full season of productions, usually performed at Elm Street Congregational Church, 61 Elm Street, Southbridge, MA. as well as workshops for youths and adults. Auditions are open to all, and new members are always welcome.
