Slade Smith’s comedy A Real Lulu” features a very nervous Ned Newley who suddenly finds himself promoted to the position of Governor of Vermont.  Ned’s a timid, nervous fellow who becomes terrified, flustered and inarticulate around the media.  While cameras and pollsters await, can political advisors shape Ned into the ideal candidate?  Or will Ned shape them?

“A Real Lulu” is sponsored by Ken Raupach.
