The Outsider Production in Burlington

Players Workshop will open the hilarious political satire The Outsider by Paul Slade Smith on the first weekend in December at Players Workshop Theater, 1431 Grove St., Burlington.

                The Outsider, which “skewers politics and celebrates democracy,” will have audiences rolling as it shares the story of Ned Newley, possibly the worst candidate to ever run for a political office—unless, of course, people are looking for the worst person ever to run for political office! According to its review in Broadway World it is an “insightful, witty satire about modern American politics. Funny, timely, and – dare we say – entirely possible . . . .”

            The Outsider will be performed on December 3-4 and 9-11 at 7:30 p.m., and on Dec. 5 and 12 at 2:00 p.m.  The box office opens at 7:00 p.m., except for matinees, when the box office opens at noon. The play is produced by special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc. (www.playscripts.com).

                Masks will be required for audience members entering the theatre, and social distancing will be maintained as much as possible.  PW highly recommends audience members remain masked for the entirety of the performance.
