In the Spotlight

Opening this weekend at the Farmington Players Barn Theater, The Outsider is a timely, laugh-out-loud comedy that feels especially fitting for the moment. As a proud sponsor of the 2025–2026 season, Wright Beamer is excited to support a production that pairs sharp humor with thoughtful storytelling—and brings the community together in the process.

The play unfolds inside a governor’s office that feels more like a workplace sitcom than a seat of power. Ned Newley didn’t campaign for the job. He’s terrified of public speaking, his poll numbers are impressively bad, and politics is not where he expected to land. But when a political consultant steps in, it becomes clear that the very traits that make Ned an unlikely politician may be exactly what voters are looking for: an honest outsider with no script.

We’re proud to support Farmington Players and the role they play in keeping live theater thriving in our community. If you’re looking for a smart, funny night out with just enough bite, The Outsider opens this weekend and is a great way to kick off the season. Tickets are available for purchase through the Farmington Players' website.
