About the Show:
The Outsiders, adapted by Christopher Sergel from S.E. Hinton’s iconic coming-of-age novel, dives into the lives of two rival teenage gangs in 1960s Tulsa — the Greasers and the Socials. At the center of the story is 14-year-old Ponyboy Curtis, whose world is forever changed after a violent encounter leaves one boy dead.

This stage adaptation remains true to the novel’s emotional depth while placing most violence off-stage and softening language, making it a strong fit for young performers. With nuanced roles, raw themes, and meaningful character exploration, The Outsiders offers actors the chance to step into a story of loyalty, identity, and the struggle to belong.
