The Outsiders

Most things we write in high school never see the light of day again, unless you're 15-year-old S. E. Hinton, whose novel The Outsiders has gone on to become an American classic. Following its 1967 release, the story got a 1983 film adaptation and, now, a folk musical adaptation. The Outsiders focuses on a band of Tulsa "greasers," teenage have-nots whose brotherhood may be rocky, but is their only source of support as they come of age. Stay gold at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre beginning March 16.
