The Outsiders
Adapted to the stage by Christopher Sergel
Based upon the novel by S.E. Hinton
Directed by Rich Keitel
Thursday, May 10 - Friday, June 1, 2012 - 10:00 AM only
Appropriate for middle school students and older.
Fourteen year-old PonyBoy knows that in their high school, kids fall into two categories: the greasers, named for how they wear their hair, and the Socs, short for Socials. His struggle with class division, violence, honor, and family comes to a boiling point in a clash between the two, a ‘rumble.’ S.E. Hinton wrote the acclaimed book in 1967, when she was an Oklahoma high school student struggling with the same issues PonyBoy does. This wonderful Playhouse Jr. adaptation is a poignant tale that rings just as true today.

It’s an enchanting adventure that asks the audience to consider the difference between doing what’s right and doing what’s greedy.
