The Outsider

Come celebrate summer with the Main Street Theatre Works Summer Season. The first production of the Season will be The Outsider by Paul Slade Smith and directed by Julie Anchor. From the website:

The Outsider, about the wacky side of politics, which is pretty much every side, especially if you’re an “outsider.” Ned Newley is an extremely competent behind-the-scenes Lieutenant Governor, who is suddenly thrust into the national spotlight when the Governor and his staff are ousted for “bad behavior.” Now Ned and his Chief of Staff, Dave, who has no staff at all, have to figure out how to keep Ned from having a panic attack every time he’s in public. So Dave has swung into action and recruited a skilled pollster and a savvy “fix it man.” He’s also hired a temporary secretary, Louise Peakes, who is cheerful and confident, but can’t get names straight or know how to operate a telephone system, which is why she’s more temp than most temps. And when Louise photo-bombs Ned’s television interview, introducing herself as Assistant Governor, the race is on, and politics was never so funny.

The Outsider will run Fridays and Saturdays from June 24th through July 23rd, 2022. Gates open at 6:30 pm and the show begins at 8:00 pm. Tickets for the show are $20, Seniors 65+ are $17.50, and youth, 18 & under, are $12.00. The Outsiders will be held at the Kennedy Gold Mine Amphitheatre located at 1127 North Main Street in Jackson, California. For more information, or to purchase tickets, please visit www.mstw.org.
