The Outsiders is a play based on the novel by S.E. Hinton, and a popular movie with an all-star cast. The story is seen through the eyes of Ponyboy, a “Greaser” on the wrong side of life who is caught up in territorial battles between the have-it-made rich kids, "The Socs," and his tough, underprivileged family and friends. As these young people try to find themselves, and each other, the sadness of sophistication begins to reach them, and change them.
