About The Outsiders
In a world where loyalty is everything and the divide between rich and poor runs deep, Ponyboy Curtis and his tight-knit group of "Greasers" struggle to find their place. When a violent encounter with the rival "Socs" shakes their lives to the core, Ponyboy and his friend Johnny are forced into hiding, setting off a chain of events that will change them forever.
Adapted by Christopher Sergel from S.E. Hinton’s groundbreaking novel, The Outsiders is a raw and gripping coming-of-age story about friendship, survival, and the fight to be seen. Presented by Young Rep on Seattle Rep's Leo K. stage, this production features a talented cast of young artists ages 13–20, bringing this timeless classic to life with heart, intensity, and unflinching honesty.
